How can Miracle lead some to to start to believe in God?

Answer 1

The miracles of Jesus and those attributed to Peter in Acts of the Apostles seem to have had very little effect on the Jews who lived around them. Christians were so few in Palestine that they receive no mention in the histories of the First Roman-Jewish War of 64-70 CE, and there were stil relatively few Christians among the Palestinian Jews by the end of the century.

Nevertheless, by the end of the second century, in the days of lrenaeus, the resurrection of the dead was an common event, and the persons thus restored supposedly lived afterwards amongst the Christians many years. These miracles seem to have had the effect of leading many to God, although it seems the saints who performed these miracles were reticent in admitting to them. For example, Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) tells us Bernard of Clairvaux recorded so many miracles of his friend St. Malachi, but never wrote of his own miracles, which were carefully related by his various companions and disciples.

The Catholic Church today frequently discovers miracles performed by the intercession of dead saints. As long as the miracles continue to be performed and are accepted as genuine miracles by the faithful, they will lead people to God.
