Four Things God Cannot Do (#249)

Bible version used: NKJV

God cannot tolerate evil.
In this tolerant age when people do not like to draw sharp lines between right and wrong, God speaks plainly. He tells us that all wrongdoing is sin (1 John 5:17) Every sin, from personal sins to national sins, whether greed or oppression, or lack of love, or disobedience, is an offense to God. If we wish to live forever with God, we must be pure and holy as He is.
You are of purer eyes and cannot look on wickedness. Habakuk 1:13

God cannot accept any solution except the saving work of His Son, Jesus.
The ancient Romans were great road builders, and in those days there was a saying: “All roads lead to Rome.” Many people think that all religions lead to God. Not so! Jesus is the only way to God!
For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus who gave Himself a ransom for all.
1 Timothy 2:5,6
Others think that if we do the best we can we will get to heaven. But good works, and virtuous lives are not enough to pay for the guilt of sin. Only the death of Jesus on the cross can pay this price.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

God cannot reject anyone who comes in the name of Jesus.
God does not punish twice. No one could bear the punishment for sin except Jesus, and He bore it all. If you accept the sacrifice of Jesus for your sins, you will never be condemned.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1
The one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out . . . This is the will of the Father who sent me . . . that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:37-40

God cannot take second place in your life.
Being a Christian is more than a one-time saying that one believes in Jesus. James 2:26 says: “Faith without works is dead.” Out of gratitude for God’s great salvation, the Christian will obey God in all things, fight sin, love his neighbor and live a thankful and holy life. Living in such a way leads to true joy and fulfillment.
Pursue peace with all people and holiness,
without which no one will see the Lord.
Hebrews 12:14
I beseech you therefore . . . that you present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
to God . . . And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing
of your mind . . . Romans 12:1,2
God cannot deny Himself. Therefore these truths are absolutely certain. Make certain that they apply to you!
