Tract: 3 Things God Cannot Do NKJV

Description

Are there really 3 things that God cannot do? Can’t God do everything? Let’s take a look at God’s own Word to see what He tells us.

1. GOD CANNOT LIE

It is impossible for God to lie, because it is against who He is. God is Holy and His Word is truth. Psalm 119:160 says “the entirety of [God’s] word is truth.”

2. GOD CANNOT CHANGE

God’s character, will, and promises never change. He tells us in His Word, “I am the Lord, I do not change” (Malachi 3:6). Only God is unchangeable.

3. GOD CANNOT ALLOW SINNERS INTO HEAVEN

This seems hard to believe, but it is absolutely true—and true forever—because God cannot lie and God cannot change. God Himself says “your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you” (Isaiah 59:2). Sin cannot be found in Heaven where God is!

Unfortunately, this is very bad news for all of us because we read that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). This may be difficult to believe, but you and I are sinners. Even if we think we are “pretty good,” the Bible says otherwise. We read in 1 John 1:10: “If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him [God] a liar.” Our sin will keep us from Heaven.

Is there a way to Heaven? How can we get there?

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). There are not many ways to get to Heaven. There is one way, and that way is Jesus Himself, because He alone “suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God” (1 Peter 3:18).

Again, we know this is true, because God said it and He doesn’t lie and He doesn’t change. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Salvation is only through Jesus.

There is a conversation recorded in the Bible where someone asks: “What must I do to be saved?” The answer was: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:30-31). You may ask, “But, don’t I have to do something else?” God gives the answer: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). God made salvation so plain and so simple.

Simply take God at His Word. His Word is eternally true (see Psalm 119:160).

You now know that you are a sinner; you know that there is no salvation in works; and you know that you must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. God tells you, “Repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15). “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).

Have you repented and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? If so, you can know that you have eternal life.

God says in 1 John 5:13, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” In the past, you may have hoped that you were going to Heaven. Now you may know it!
