Galatians 3:5-6 ESV

Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— just as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"?

God works miracles in our lives because we hear & ask in faith and prayer, not because we do good works or keeping the laws. Just as Abraham, we are counted as righteousness because we believe in God, that He exists and He will do what He says.

We are not counted righteous because we keep the laws, for we will inevitably fail. God does not work miracles in our lives because we do good works, for our good works are never enough to force a favor from God. God counts us as righteousness and work miracles in our lives because of Jesus, because we hear and believe, and because God loves us.
