We know God’s grace can work miracles through material objects because of the examples in the Bible: The Apostle Paul’s handkerchiefs and aprons healed the sick they touched (Acts 19:11-12), and Prophet Elias’ mantle divided the Jordan River (2 Kings 2:8).
Just as God works through people, He also works through physical objects to guide us toward salvation. Holy objects serve as conduits of God’s grace, helping us experience God’s presence in the world.
