The infinity of God

Psalm 32: 6 - 9

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Jeremiah 32:17

Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

Three basic facts about God’s infinity

1. God is omnipotent, or all-powerful. His power is unlimited over creation (Psalm 32: 6 - 9; Jeremiah 32:17), history (Proverbs 21:1 Revelation 17:17) and men’s lives (Job 38:41, 42:2).

2. God is omniscient, or all-knowing. His knowledge is unlimited (John 21:17 and 1 John 3:20; Hebrews 4:13) over the universe (Psalm 147:4 Hebrews 4:13), the details of life (Matthew 10:30), possible events (1 Sam 23:10-13, Matthew 11:21)

3. God is sovereign. His authority is unlimited over all things (Romans 8:28; 1 Chronicles 29:11-12; Ps 22:28, 103:19), and over human history (Proverbs 21:1 Revelation 17:17).

The omnipotence of God

God created the universe by His word (Psalm 33:6).

Since God is our Creator, He owns us (Psalm 89:11).

The created universe reveals God and leaves men without any excuse for rejecting God. (Romans 1:19-20).

His power shows that there is no god like Him (Deuteronomy 3:24).

His power makes it possible for Him to do what is impossible for men to do (Matthew 19:25 26).

God has displayed His power through acts in history that are recorded in the Bible so everyone can see His power and would fear Him (Joshua 4:23 24).

The powers of heaven (angelic beings) and the peoples of the earth (human beings) are under God's control (Daniel 4:35)

God's power keeps things together (Col 1:16-17).

The knowledge of God

There are no limits to His knowledge (Psalm 147:5).

God completely knows the wicked and the good (Proverbs 15:3).

God knows about all men and everything they do (Psalm 33:13 15).

Since God's knowledge of mankind is complete, we are accountable to Him (Hebrews 4:13).

The sovereignty of God

God’s plan determines history from beginning to end (Isaiah 46:9 11).

The will of God determines all details of history (Ephesians 1:11).

God controls events and circumstances like casting of the lot (Proverbs 16:33), the death of a sparrow (Matthew 10:29), the time and location of a man's existence (Acts 17:26), and tomorrow’s events (James 4:13 15).

God is never dependent on man (Romans 11:33 36).

God does whatever pleases Him (Isaiah 46:9 10 Ps 115:3; Daniel 4:35).

Whatever God does is always right (Romans 9:20).
