Isn’t There Something That Is Impossible?

Yes, you can be sure there is, and in many different ways, too. But didn’t Jesus say, “Everything is possible for him who believes”? Yes, He did, and rightly understood that is how it is; but not otherwise. Some examples of what is impossible are: It is impossible to receive grace if you are proud, arrogant presumptuous, opinionated, conceited, and full of your own importance! It is just as impossible to be humble without receiving grace. It is impossible to exalt yourself without being abased by God. It is also impossible to humble yourself without being exalted by God! It is also impossible to be a true disciple (student) of Jesus without truly forsaking everything you possess in every sense of the word. It is impossible to give thanks for everything as long as you still make demands on others. It is impossible to love God as long as you love money, and the things you can buy with money. It is impossible always to rest in God as long as you do not have victory over all sin, for every kind of sin causes unrest. It is impossible to enter in God’s kingdom if we do not do our heavenly Father’s will and if we have not put off all the works of the flesh.

Matthew 7:21 and Galatians 5:19-21: You would think that people can read correctly, but unfortunately, reading the Bible is a common exception. Unfortunately!
