THREE THINGS GOD SIMPLY CANNOT DO

We have all heard the argumentative questions...

Can God make a rock so heavy he cannot lift it?

Can God make a river so wide he cannot cross it?

Who cares?

The answer to these questions are redundant anyway.

Why would God want to lift a rock since he is all encompassing -- he is above it, below it and all around it at the same time.

And why would God possibly want to cross a river since He is everywhere at all times? Including the other side of the river.

Realistically though I have come across at least three legitimate things God simply cannot do.

1. He cannot love me anymore than He does at this very moment. Or at the precise moment back before the universe was framed when He wrote my name in the Lamb's Book of Life. There is not one thing I can do to cause Him to love me more -- and by the same token none of my sins cause Him to love me any less.

2. God cannot do any more for me than He has already done.
He allowed His only begotten Son to be sacrificed at Calvary to pay for my sins. If the blood of the Son of God cannot wash away my sins then there are no other sacrifices to be made. But none need to be made because Jesus did it all on Calvary's cross.

3. God cannot make it any easier for me than He already has.
All I have to do is realize that I am a sinner in need of a Savior, recognize the fact that He died for my sins, and acknowledge Him as my Lord and Savior. It can't get any simpler than that.

Do you know Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Savior? Does He play an active part in your every day life?

If not take time today to investigate The Christ.

He's the difference between life and death.
