What does "all things are possible" teach about God's power in our lives? Verse at a Glance “Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” (Matthew 19:26) What It Reveals about God’s Power • Unlimited authority—no obstacle exceeds His capability. • Sovereign initiative—He alone turns impossibilities into realities according to His perfect will. • Personal engagement—Jesus speaks this promise directly to His followers, inviting them to trust Him. Implications for Daily Life • Salvation: Human effort cannot redeem, yet God freely saves (Ephesians 2:8-9). • Prayer: We approach boldly, knowing He can do beyond what we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). • Perseverance: Trials become platforms for His strength to shine (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). • Vision: Plans align with His limitless power, not our limited resources (Proverbs 3:5-6). Living in the Reality of “All Things Are Possible” 1. Believe His Word—anchor expectations in Scripture, not circumstances. 2. Surrender Control—yield plans, trusting God’s timing and methods. 3. Act in Faith—step forward obediently even when outcomes seem unlikely. 4. Testify—share answered prayers to strengthen others’ faith.
