Instead, he is working on your future so you have nothing to stress or worry about (Peter 5:7).Ī characteristic of God’s omnipotence is how He cannot sin nor tolerate sin. Humans need to recharge to get energy, right? For God, why would He need to recharge when He Himself is energy? So, the next time your stress and worries keep you from sleep, remember this the Lord who loves you so much doesn’t sleep. He never sleeps! (Isaiah 20:28) When we hear people say “God is watching you” – it’s literally true! God doesn’t need to sleep because of His immense power. We are bound to feel tired after a long day of work. Rich or poor, busy or not, humans need to sleep. So, we should always keep our feet flat on the ground. Have you ever wondered why God is so quick to forgive us? Put simply, there is no action or person bigger and more powerful than the Lord and His undying love. But, God gives us free will (Deuteronomy 30:19 ). Non-believers may argue that if God is so powerful then, why do humans still sin? If God dislikes sin, shouldn’t He just stop people from doing it? Actually, if God wanted to end all sin and sinners, He can do that in just a snap (Romans 9:18). He can make the blind see and the deaf hear. ![]() He can also heal broken hearts, heal the sick, and give hope to the hopeless. For example, the story of Creation depicts God’s immense power. There are so many stories in the Bible that depict this. Since God is omnipotent, He is able to do absolutely everything. Jeremiah 32:17 fills us in with how nothing is hard for God. Here are other Biblical depictions of God’s omnipotence in the Bible: We should be reminded to trust the creator and not the creation. So, it is flawed to think that the universe has power over us. However, the truth is, the universe is a creation of God. The problem with today’s philosophies is how people connect everything to scientific theories of how the universe came to be. There is absolutely nothing God has no power over. Thus, He possesses power over everything. In Genesis 1:1, 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, or the Story of Creation, we know that God is the Maker of the universe. But, the Bible gives us a clearer picture of just how powerful God is. Let’s learn more about God’s divine attributes and its references in the Bible. ![]() Combining these in order, the words translate to “all-powerful, all-knowing, and “all-present” or “present everywhere”. Why? Because humans can’t have these characteristics! The prefix “Omni” means “all”. Meaning, one cannot describe a person as “omnipotent, omnipresent or omniscient”. So, why are these three words chosen to represent God’s divine attributes? Among the many words in the dictionary, descriptions like these three words are only used for God. ![]() There are so many adjectives available in the dictionary that can describe and represent something or someone. Why “Omnipotent,Omnipresent, and Omniscient”? But, there are three descriptions we can use to describe God’s nature – omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient. As an example, in Isaiah 40:12, a description is available saying that God can measure the entire skies with just the span of His Hand! Really, there is no measurement for God’s greatness. Simply put, He is too vast for any measurement to be described. Actually, humans have no exact idea just how big and great God is. His Almighty Presence branches to unlimited characteristics that show love, compassion, and undefeated power. God is impossible to describe with just a word.
