Which other Bible verses emphasize God's ability to do the impossible? Framing the Question through Matthew 19:26 “Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’ ” In one short sentence, Jesus resets our expectations: human limits never hem in the Lord. Scripture repeats this truth from cover to cover. Below are some of the key passages that echo and expand upon Matthew 19:26. Old-Testament Foundations: God Sets the Pattern • Genesis 18:14 — “Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return, and in about a year, Sarah will have a son.” • Job 42:2 — “I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.” • Psalm 115:3 — “Our God is in heaven and does as He pleases.” • Psalm 147:5 — “Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.” • Isaiah 46:9-10 — “I am God, and there is none like Me… I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ ” • Jeremiah 32:17 — “Ah, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!” • Jeremiah 32:27 — “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?” New-Testament Confirmations: Jesus and the Apostles Agree • Luke 1:37 — “For nothing will be impossible with God.” • Mark 10:27 — “Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.’ ” • Luke 18:27 — “But Jesus said, ‘What is impossible with man is possible with God.’ ” • Romans 4:17, 21 — “…the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist… being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.” • Ephesians 3:20 — “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,” Threading the Verses Together • Creation, resurrection, answered prayer, fulfilled prophecy—each passage points to a scene where God’s power overrides natural limitation. • The repetition is intentional: the Lord wants His people to remember that His promises never depend on human ability. • By putting Matthew 19:26 alongside these verses, we see a continuous, unbroken testimony: the God who spoke to Abraham, strengthened Jeremiah, and raised Jesus is the same God who still declares, “All things are possible.” |
