Good morning,
“In the beginning God…” (Genesis 1:1) The fourth word in the Bible must be understood or the rest of the Bible will make no sense.
This week we will look at the foundational truths of God. He is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and sovereign.
Next week we will look at God’s character.
Finally, knowing these truths, we will be challenged to take God’s word to our friends, neighbors, and enemies. We will learn what it means to fulfill the Great Commission of Matthew 28.
GOD IS:
Omnipotent
God is omnipotent, He is all powerful
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27)
“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew19:24-26)
“And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” (Revelation 19:6)
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke:1-37)
God can do anything He chooses. He is able to heal the sick, bring the dead back to life, take the wicked and turn them into saints, and comfort.
Having said that, He does not do that in every circumstance.
Why? This side of heaven we may not know. We must trust that God, who has full knowledge, knows what is best. That is sometimes hard to do. That is why we must remember these fundamental truths about God.
