What Can God Do?   
 

by Edward O. Bragwell, Sr.

 

Brother John T. Lewis used to say, “The Bible was not designed to answer every fool question that some people can think up?” How true!

It is especially true when it comes to questions about the ability of the all-powerful God. There is no end to the questions, some downright foolish and some just speculative, that people raise. Like:

Can God make two mountains without a valley between them?

Can God make an object too heavy for him to move?

Can God perform miracles in answer to our prayers today?

Could God have ordained a scheme of redemption other than the one he did ordain?

Can God save man without faith?

The list can be expanded as far as the imagination can take us? When we have exhausted our imagination of what He may or not be able to do we are still in an area of God attributes “past finding out.” If we could answer each of the above questions in the affirmative, the question would still be not be what He CAN do but what He DOES do. It much easier to determine the extent of His WILL toward man than the extent of the exercise of His POWER. “The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” (Deuteronomy 29:29 KJV) God has revealed his will for mankind, but not the answer to every thing we might conceive to be within His power. It is our business to learn, believe, teach and preach the REVEALED will rather than presume what is not revealed an run with that.

Is God ABLE to save one without faith? But is it God’s WILL that man be saved without faith? (Heb. 11:6)

Is God ABLE to save without baptism? But is it His WILL to save men by baptism? (1 Pet. 3:21).

Is God ABLE to save an alien sinner without repentance? But is it His WILL that repentance be a condition of salvation (Luke 13:3,5).

Is God ABLE to forgive a brother before he repents and prays for forgiveness of his sin? But it is REVEALED that he forgives one in answer to repentance and asking for it in prayer (Acts 8:22 1 John 1:9).

It is not our business to hold out hope to anyone based on what we think God might be able to do with His awesome power. It is our business to point them to what is revealed concerning His will for man’s salvation.
