What does it mean that God is omnipotent?


God can accomplish anything if it can be done, and if it does not contradict his own nature. For example:

A. In the physical realm:

1. He cannot form a rock too heavy for him to lift.


2. He cannot square a circle or make a triangle with four points.


3. He cannot place two mountains together and not have a valley in between.


4. He cannot create an unmovable post and then hurl an unstoppable rock at it.


5. He cannot undo what has been done in the past.


B. In the moral realm:

1. He cannot save someone who does not desire to be saved.


2. He cannot refuse to save someone who desires to be saved.


3. He cannot lie (Heb 6:18).


4. He cannot be tempted with evil (Jas 1:13).


5. He cannot deny himself (2 Tim 2:13).


C. In all realms:

He is able to do much more than he actually has done (Matt 3:9). In other words, he can do all that he wills, but will not do all that he can. He thus exercises power over his power!
