God’s attribute: The Omnipotence of God Part 2

This is a series on the attributes of God.

 

Selected Scriptures

Purpose: In this session we shall look at what the New Testament has to say about the omnipotence of God so that we would draw implications for our lives.

Definitions of the omnipotence of God:

1. Looking at the root of the word omnipotence: “The word omnipotence is derived from two Latin words, omni, “all,” and potens, “powerful,” and means “all-powerful.”[1]
2. Wayne Grudem: “God’s omnipotence means that God is able to do all his holy will.”[2]
3. John Frame: “The term omnipotence is not in Scripture, but the term is appropriate to refer to two biblical ideas, closely related to one another: God can do anything He pleases…Nothing is too hard for God.”[3]
4. John Feinberg: “God is able to do everything Scripture shows him doing.”[4]
