However, since God controlls all that happens, he shapes the events in our lives and the disposition of our hearts so that our desires will cause us to freely choose to do what God desires us to do in any situation. Our will is totally free in that we are free to do whatever our desires move us to do. If God is really all powerful it can’t mean that our decisions can frustrate what God wants to happen. If God is totally sovereign and always able to do whatever he desires to do, do humans have a “free will”? That depends upon what is meant by “free will”. All have turned aside together they have become worthless no one does good, not even one.’ ” Romans 3:10-12, “as it is written: ‘None is righteous, no, not one no one understands no one seeks for God. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.” It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me– not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God he has seen the Father. John 6:44-47 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. John 6:37, “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. When God moves in the lost heart, the person is given that saving faith and will come to Christ fulfilling God’s gracious plan for his life. Left to his own abilities no one is able to do these things. It’s the work of the Holy Spirit that enables the soul to recognize it’s need for salvation from God’s judgment and to sincerely trust in the Savior. The omnipotence of God even extends to his ability to redeem the lost souls of all he intends to make his beloved Children in Christ. ”Īcts 17:26, “And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,” Proverbs 16:4, “The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.” Psalm 135:5-6, “For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. It’s summarized in the verses quoted below. This is stated directly in many places all through the Bible. There is nothing that has power over the God who made everything. Our understanding of God must reflect these attributes as they apply to all God is, does, and promises.ġ. To deny any one of them is to deny the God of Scripture. They are each clearly taught in Scripture. These terms mean that God is “All Powerful”, “All Knowing”, and “Everywhere Present”. The Merrium Webster Dictionary defines the prefix “omni-” as meaning “all, universality”. As Creator of the entire universe and all that’s in it, God is “omnipotent”, “omniscient”, and “omnipresent”.
Three “omnis” are ascribed to God in the Bible.
