What God cannot do exist

The concept of an “act of God” often refers to unexpected, uncontrollable events that are attributed to divine intervention. However, the Bible also highlights God’s character and nature, which can provide insight into what God cannot do. Here are some biblical references that illustrate what God cannot do:

God’s Nature and Limitations

1. God cannot lie: “God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and then not fulfill?” (Numbers 23:19)
2. God cannot deny Himself: “If we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.” (2 Timothy 2:13)
3. God cannot be tempted with evil: “But when tempted, no one should say, ‘God is tempting me.’ For God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.” (James 1:13)

God’s Moral Character

1. God cannot do evil: “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (Genesis 18:25)
2. God cannot show favoritism: “For God does not show favoritism.” (Romans 2:11)
3. God cannot be unjust: “For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.” (Deuteronomy 10:17)

God’s Relationship with Humanity

1. God cannot forget His people: “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!” (Isaiah 49:15)
2. God cannot abandon His promises: “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” (Romans 11:29)
3. God does not record faults: James 1:5 NKJV “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”John 3:18 NKJV
   “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
   Remember the woman caught in the very act of adultery and what Jesus said to those who had stones in their hand to stone her. John 8:10 NKJV
   When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”John 8:11 NKJV
   She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”

These references highlight God’s character, nature, and moral principles, which provide insight into what God cannot do. They demonstrate God’s commitment to truth, justice, and righteousness, and His unwavering love and faithfulness towards humanity.
