God Attribute, 9

 ~ God Cannot Fail ~

 

This Series  ~  This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction  ~  We all fail.  Failure is part of our humanity ever since Adam and Eve failed in the Garden of Eden. 

 

Scripture  ~  “Now when I had delivered the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying: ‘Ah, Lord God!  Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm.  There is nothing too hard for You’” (Jeremiah 32:16-18).

 

Comment  ~  A common belief is that when we fail we can “lift ourself up by our own bootstraps.”  Have you ever tried that?  If not, stand up and reach down and try it! 

 

The real answer is belief in Jesus Christ and the salvation He brings both now and forever.  “Who Himself [Jesus Christ] bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed.  For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls” (1 Peter 2:24-25).
