Here are my gleanings (summary notes) from my current Bible study
from week 5: Knowing The Almighty
Behold Your God: The Weight of Majesty by John Snyder
12-week devotional workbook and DVD
God’s Power …
- …Is Essential To His Being
Power is not merely what God possesses; it is who He is.
- …Is Self-Existing
The origin of God’s power is found in himself. He has not received it from another. The origin of any power given on this earth
lies in God.
- …Is Infinite, Having No Limitation, Measure, Or Boundary
The power of God has steps that cannot be discovered and limits that will never be reached.
- …Is Immutable
His power is unchangeable; It cannot be depleted. God alone remains unalterably omnipotent.
- …Exists Above The Limits Of Time And Place
God’s power is eternal. It exists in the past, present, and future simultaneously.
- …Is Sovereign
He not only possesses the ability to do all he desires; He also possesses the right to do all He desires.
- …Is United To All His Other Attributes
God is undivided. He cannot find certain attributes at odds with others (e.g., mercy and justice).
- 8. …Is Incomparable
No one can fully grasp what it means when we say our God is Almighty. He remains forever unique and in a category all to Himself.
Concluding Thought:
When you consider the biblical testimony regarding God‘s ability to do all His pleasure, you are immediately confronted with a choice:
will you lay aside all inferior views of God‘s power and make room for the truth?
It will cost you something to believe that God is Almighty; but believing is the only path for followers of Christ.
