Jeremiah 10:12 affirms that God made the earth by His power. The great fiery Sun, the innumerable stars, every single leaf, all humanity, every cloud, sunrise and sunset, and every atom and proton and neutron and every single cell made, designed, carefully crafted by God and upheld to function according to God’s perfect wisdom all display the praiseworthy power of our beautiful God. 

The power of God proves to be one of God’s most distinctive character qualities. His power is perfect, precise, good and unlimited. Theologians call it the “Omnipotence of God.” This speaks of the all-powerful and unlimited ability of God (and God alone) to do all His holy and perfect will. David affirmed that “in God’s hand are power and might” (1 Chronicles 29:12). Also: it is true that power and might are in God’s hand so that *no one can stand against God* (2 Chronicles 20:6).  Nothing is too difficult for the Lord (Jeremiah 32:17). 

God’s amazing and unrivaled power exists perfectly and has existed perfectly from all eternity as He had no beginning. He has never, ever increased in power or grown in ability. God has never had an energetic burst or a day of limited power. He always and ever exercises unlimited, unrivaled, undiminishing ability to perform and execute all His eternal decrees. 

God manifested His power in the everlasting decrees within the Triune Godhead when He foreknew, elected and predestined particular individuals to be saved in Christ. Then, in a perfect intra-trinitarian pact, the Father gave to the Son these elect souls for the Son of God to come and redeem forevermore. What amazing power on display in the unified Godhead.
