I continue to spend time studying and meditating on the character of God.
Is there a better way to experience ultimate reality?
Paul Washer has been my primary guide. Knowing the Living God provides a treasure chest of passages on dozens of God’s attributes.
I’ve also been reading Steven Lawson’s Show Me Your Glory, another excellent resource for those eager to know God more deeply.
Over the past week, the omnipotence of God has taken center stage in my heart and mind.
Here’s what Dr. Lawson says about God’s power to save sinners like me and you.
“This omnipotent God is also mighty to save sinners from His wrath. In the conversion of His elect, He is able to overcome their natural resistance to the gospel and bring them to faith in Christ. Concerning salvation, Jesus said, ‘With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible’ (Matt. 19:26).
“Entrance into the kingdom of God is unattainable for any individual apart from the might of God. But what is unachievable to man is undeniably possible for God. No one lives beyond the saving power of God. The Almighty can break open the hardest heart and rescue the chief of sinners (1 Tim. 1:15).
“Divine omnipotence can cause spiritually blind eyes to see the truth (John 9:11, 39), and spiritually deaf ears to hear the effectual call (John 5:20; 10:3, 27).
“God is more than able to dynamically raise those who are dead in their trespasses to new life in Christ (Eph. 2:1 5). He can subdue the most stiff-necked person and bring him to faith. He is mighty to guard every believer and fulfill every prophecy. He is able to do far beyond anything we can possibly imagine.”
This description of what God does to rescue rebels from the clutches of sin, death, and eternal destruction makes my heart soar with praise to the only One who can save.
For years, my heart was as hard as a rock. My eyes, blind. My ears, deaf. My neck, stiff. I was spiritually dead until Jesus raised me to life. By the power of Almighty God, this is what He does to and for all believers: “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son” (Colossians 1:13).
Only God has that power. Aren’t you glad He does?
Have you experienced the infinite, captivating power of God?
