Impossible Certainties - Marvin Derksen
There is nothing relative about the Word of God. It is filled with timeless, unchanging, absolute truths. Sometimes it is this very inflexibility in scriptural statements that makes individuals uncomfortable with or even hostile to the Bible’s message. But there are some things in the Word of God that are absolute impossibilities. Even in relation to God. Did you know that there are some things that God CANNOT do? For one, He cannot lie. He also can never change. Some of these impossibilities are difficult for us to accept – like the impossibility of ever saving ourselves, of ever making ourselves any better in the sight of God. However, other impossibilities are wonderfully comforting – like the fact that God will never, no never, turn away anyone who comes to Him in repentance and faith.
