God Must Be All-Powerful

To be God requires being all-powerful. If God were not all-powerful, it would mean that there are events outside of His control. It would mean He wouldn't have absolute power to always and absolutely save us from our sins.

If God were every truly limited in power, it would have drastic consequences for all of creation. But as we walk in fellowship with God, we realize who He is. Furthermore, we realize the importance of declaring God as the All-powerful One. Arthur Pink says, "We cannot have a right conception of God unless we think of Him as all-powerful, as well as all-wise. He who cannot do what he will, and perform all his pleasure, cannot be God. As God has a will to resolve what He deems good, so has He power to execute His will."

God's power is evident in all of creation. Creation ranges from the incredibly complex to the wonderfully simple. God created plants, animals mountains and rivers, and He called it all good. God's power is evident in his preservation of his creation. Forests could not exist if God did not tend after them. He not only created the Universe and everything in it, but he allows it to continue to exist. If everything was randomly created, then it would follow logic that everything could randomly cease to exist. But God is in control, and this universe was not created by random chance. Good shows His divine power in our own lives through our testimony. Good continuous demonstrates His Almighty Power, so that we might glorify Him.
