In Hebrews 2:4, it is written that God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, demonstrating His power and presence. The testimony of God is also closely tied to the person of Jesus Christ, as seen in John 8:18, where Jesus states that He is the one who testifies to Himself, and in Romans 8:16, which notes that the Spirit of God testifies with our spirit that we are children of God. Through these testimonies, believers can have confidence in their faith and trust in God's sovereignty, as expressed in Psalms 119:105, which declares that God's word is a lamp to guide their paths.
