11-2-25// WHAT CAN'T GOD DO...
Michael Morgan
Things God cannot do
· Sin or act wickedly:
God is considered holy and pure, so he cannot sin or perform any kind of wickedness.
· Lie or contradict himself:
God cannot lie because his nature is truth, and he cannot go back on his promises or word. He also cannot change his mind on matters consistent with his character.
· Be tempted by evil or tempt others:
God cannot be tempted by evil, nor can he tempt others to do evil.
· Act illogically:
God cannot do things that are logically impossible, such as creating a square circle.
· Overrule free will:
God cannot force a person to accept him; a person must choose to repent and follow him.
· Be mocked or deceived:
Because he is all-knowing and all-sufficient, God cannot be deceived or feel mocked.
· Change:
God's character is immutable, meaning he is perfect and therefore cannot change or improve.
· Change his Word:
He cannot go back on his own Word.
