The hypothetical question is often asked
-- "Can God make a rock so big that He cannot lift it?"
We would have to say no because
"nothing is impossible"
for God. (Matthew 19:26)
He is "all powerful" --
Jeremiah 10:12
-- "He has made the earth by His power; He has established the world by His
wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by His understanding."
However,
there are several things that God cannot do that
are contrary to His very nature:
1. God cannot lie
because God cannot sin. Titus 1:2 -- "In hope of eternal life, which
God, Who cannot lie, promised
before the world began."
James 1:13 -- "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for
God cannot be tempted with
evil, neither tempts He any man." 2.
God cannot break His promises. Numbers 23:19 -- "God is not a man, that He
should lie, neither the son of man,
that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? Or
has he spoken and shall He
not make it good? 3. God cannot
change. Malachi 3:6 -- "I am the LORD,
I change not."
Hebrews 13:8 -- "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever."
4. God cannot
forgive sin without the shedding of innocent blood . . . HIS! Hebrews 9:22 -- " . . .
without the shedding of blood, there is no
remission."
1 John 1:7 -- " . . . the blood of
Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from
all sins."
5. God cannot let
anyone into heaven unless they sincerely believe in His Son, Jesus Christ,
as their Savior. John 3:36 -- "He that believes on the Son has
everlasting life; and he that believes not the Son
shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
6. God cannot let
anyone into heaven unless they have been "born-again." John
3:3-5 -- "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you.
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God."
vs. 7 -- "Ye must be born again."
"God cannot sin, God cannot lie, God cannot break
His promises, God cannot change, God cannot forgive sin without the shedding
of HIS innocent blood, God cannot let anyone into heaven unless they trust
in Jesus Christ as their Savior and are born-again." Copy write Disconvery News, 2015 This article
