The Omnipotence of God


Ah Lord God!  Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm!  Nothing is too difficult for you.

Jeremiah 32:17

Omnipotence is a fancy word for all powerful. 

Our God can do anything.  His only limits are that He will not do anything that violates His nature as a loving God, or the free will of humans to choose for themselves what they will do.  God gave humans a free will so that they would not be robots serving Him, but willing servants who desire to do His will.

Therefore we understand God’s omnipotence as that of a loving caretaker who does what is best for His creation.
