Interestingly, Moroni declares that he is going to show us that God is a God of miracles, then he discusses the Creation, the Fall, the Atonement, and the Final Judgment. Why does he do this? Because the first miracle Christ performed was not the turning of the water to wine at the marriage feast at Cana but the Creation of the earth (v. 17). The Fall was not a miracle, but the Plan of Salvation whereby man could overcome the Fall is nothing but miraculous. Furthermore, the greatest miracle ever performed was the Atonement itself. Moroni is teaching us that these are the greatest of God’s miracles. The miracles of healing the sick and raising the dead pale in comparison, for which is greater, the raising of Lazarus to mortality or the raising of the entire human race to immortality? Spencer W. Kimball said, “the Son of God is the greatest miracle of all. He is, indeed, the miracle of miracles, and every day of his life he gave evidence of it.” (quoted by Howard W. Hunter, Ensign, May 1989, “The God That Doest Wonders”)
Even the Final Judgment is miraculous, for all will be compelled to admit that the judgments of the Lord are just (Alma 12:15). Prior to that day, we have no reason to conclude that God has ceased to be a God of miracles. Has the end come yet? Behold I say unto you, Nay; and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles (v. 15).

"I welcome this [Easter] season…which reminds us that God is a God of miracles, that his Only Begotten Son is ’the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in [him], though he were dead, yet shall he live.’ (John 11:25.)
"Among the signs of the true church, and included in the evidences of God’s work in the world, are the manifestations of his power which we are helpless to explain or to fully understand…Not surprisingly, these signs and marvels were most evident in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the very Son of God himself. But startling and wonder-filled as they were, Christ’s many miracles were only reflections of those greater marvels which his Father had performed before him and continues to perform all around us. Indeed, the Savior’s humble performance of such obviously divine acts may be just one very special application of the declarations he made:
’The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise’ (John 5:19) and ’I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me’ (John 8:28).
"For example, the first miracle by Jesus recorded in the New Testament was the turning of water into wine at the marriage at Cana. (See John 2:1-11.) But poor, indeed, was the making of the wine in the pots of stone, compared with its original making in the beauty of the vine and the abundance of the swelling grapes. No one could explain the onetime miracle at the wedding feast, but then neither could they explain the everyday miracle of the splendor of the vineyard itself.
"It is most remarkable to witness one who is deaf made to hear again. But surely that great blessing is no more startling than the wondrous combination of bones and skin and nerves that lets our ears receive the beautiful world of sound. Should we not stand in awe of the blessing of hearing and give glory to God for that miracle, even as we do when hearing is restored after it has been lost?
“Is it not the same for the return of one’s sight or the utterance of our speech, or even that greatest miracle of all—the restoration of life? The original creations of the Father constitute a truly wonder-filled world. Are not the greatest miracles the fact that we have life and limb and sight and speech in the first place? Yes, there will always be plenty of miracles if we have eyes to see and ears to hear.” (Conference Report, May 1989 Ensign, “The God That Doest Wonders”)
