I've always liked Matthew 19:26, where Jesus said with God all things are
possible. I've even quoted it many times. It's true. God IS omniscient,
omnipresent and all powerful. But the Bible also tells us there are some things
that God simply cannot do. Before you discount that statement, read on and
you'll see what I mean:
God cannot remember our sin. If we repent and accept the atoning grace of
Christ’s sacrifice, God says He will remember our sin no more.
God also cannot justify sin without the remission of sin through the shedding of blood by Jesus. Hebrews 9:22 tells us that there is no remission of sin without the shed blood of Jesus. Jesus tells us in John 14:6 that no one comes to His father except through Him.
God can never break His promises. God made an everlasting covenant with
Abraham in Genesis 13. When God says “forever,” He means “forever.”
God will never allow His people to be ashamed for there faith. John tells
us in 1 John 2:28 and 1 John 4:17 that we will not be ashamed when He returns,
and Paul says in Romans 1:16 that he is not ashamed of the good news of Jesus
Christ.
Isaiah tells us God cannot share His glory with another. In Malachi 3:6,
it says God cannot change, and Hebrews 13:5 tells us that God will never leave
us or forsake us.
Our God is a mighty and awesome God, but I'm glad there are some things God
just can't do.
