A loving and gracious God

Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. (Psalm 147:5 ESV)

When the Bible says God is Almighty and can do anything, it should be understood that God can do anything which is consistent with His nature and character.

God’s omnipotence is an important factor that builds our faith in Him, as He is not someone who makes claims and promises which He does not have the power to perform. God has the power to deliver on what He has promised.

When we read His promises to us, we can put our weight down on what He has said, as He is the all-powerful Creator and sustainer of the universe and all that is in it. He who is infinite power is our Father, and we are His children. We are safe within His arms.

As sinners whose sin separates us from God, as creatures created by our Creator, there is nothing we can do to merit His love, His fellowship, His blessings; yet He has condescended to bestow these things upon us. This unmerited favor is known as His grace.

He has chosen to freely give His favor and love to us, though we are unworthy of it, have no claim to it, and can in no way earn it.  He has chosen to bestow His love upon us because He is, in nature and being, gracious. His grace is an undeserved gift from a loving and gracious God. [1]

Where there is prayer, where there is faith and love for God through Jesus Christ, His intervention is assured. - Charles Price
