4 “Cannots”

~ Four Absolute Impossibilities ~

Natural Man Cannot Please God  ~  “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.  So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:6-8). 

Natural Man Cannot Bring Forth Good Fruit  ~  Jesus said, “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.  Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire” (Matthew 7:18-19). 

Unbelievers Cannot Go To Heaven  ~  “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God’” (John 3:3). 

Unbelievers Cannot Escape Hell  ~  Jesus said, “Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.  And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us’” (Luke 16:25-26).
