Signs and Wonders in the Early Post-Apostolic Era
Arnobius amplifies the evangelistic results of God’s power being demonstrated world-wide:
“Christ’s virtues have been made manifest to you, along with that unheard-of power … that was used over the whole world by those who proclaimed Him. It has subdued the fires of passion and caused races, peoples, and nations that are most diverse in character to hasten with one accord to accept the same faith. For the deeds can be listed and numbered that have been done in India, as well as among the Seres, Persians, and Medes.” (Arnobius, c. 305, ANF 6.438)
Conclusion
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord.
Lamentations 3:22-26
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Hebrews 13:8
God has always been in the salvation business. No doctrine of man can ever change that.
