Impossible or Possible

There is a way to tell if something is impossible or possible. We have to discern if the person who is attempting the feat has enough power or wisdom to accomplish it. There are many things that are simply impossible for people, because of our limited power and wisdom. However, we can know that all things are possible with God, who has unlimited power and wisdom. (Matthew 19:26) Therefore, God can do whatever He wills to do at any time.

The main thing that is impossible for us to do as human beings is to save ourselves from our sins. We can't work hard enough or become good enough to pay for the penalty for our sins. Therefore, if it depended on us, all of us would be lost and end up in hell. However, with God all things are possible. He sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, to die for our sins, paying the penalty which we deserved to pay. He did it all out of love, and then, He offers it to us for free by His grace. If we turn from our sins, put our trust in Christ as our Lord and Savior, surrendering to Him to follow His will, we will have eternal and abundant life, all at His expense. He accomplishes for us what is impossible for us to do for ourselves.

Tomorrow, I intend to read Matthew 20-23.
