Omnipotence. This means that God is all powerful, that He can do anything which
is not inconsistent with His own character, such as lying (Hebrews 6:18), sinning (James 1:13), denying Himself (2 Timothy 2:13). Probably the basic concept in the
name of God is that of power and might. Christ said: “with God all things are
possible” (Matthew 19:26),
and He also said: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18). Job declared: “I know that thou canst
do everything” (Job 42:2).
Jeremiah began his prayer in chapter 32:17: “Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by
thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.”
God revealed Himself to Abram as “the Almighty God” (Genesis 17:1). People often ask such questions as: Wasn’t God able to
create a world in which there would be no sin? or, Can’t God put a stop to war?
or, Doesn’t God have the power to end poverty and suffering and death? If God
has all power, then He has power to do all of these things and more. In dealing
with questions like these two things must be remembered.
