God's Non-Transmittable Attributes (Part One): Omnipotence

Bible Study by Martin G. Collins

God the Father, Almighty, is characterized by His non-transmittable attributes, which set Him wholly apart from all creation. He is self-existent, self-sufficient, and eternal, having no origin, needs, or changes, and answering to no one. His majesty and holiness are expressed through His omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience, qualities He alone possesses. As the Almighty, He reigns sovereign over the universe and beyond, with all power and authority originating from Him. He has the power to fulfill His plans without fail, and with Him, all things are possible. Though His omnipotence is not the ability to do anything contrary to His nature, He carries out the will of His perfect, divine nature without constraints. There is nothing too hard for Him, as He is the all-powerful Creator who made the heavens and the earth, lifting up the isles as a very little thing, with infinite power to accomplish whatever He pleases.

The Incomparable Great God!

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Martin G. Collins

God exists in a transcendent category entirely His own, defined by four non-transmittable attributes—omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, and immutability—that collectively establish His absolute sovereignty over all creation. As Almighty God, He possesses the unrestricted power to execute His perfect nature; as Omnipresent Spirit, He permeates every corner of the universe while dwelling personally within believers; as Omniscient, He comprehends all actual and possible realities without diminishing human free will; and as Immutable, He remains constant in character and purpose, ensuring that His promises never waver despite shifting relational dynamics with humanity. These divine qualities are intrinsically linked to the Eighth Day festival and the final judgment, demonstrating that only such a God could orchestrate the resurrection of the uncalled and the eventual establishment of a new heaven and earth free from sorrow and death, thereby providing a secure foundation for complete trust in His ultimate redemption.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

"Almighty" is a non-specific title that applies to both the Father and the Son, so it cannot be assumed to point only to the Father. Some reason that because the Father is greater than the Son, the Almighty must be the Father, but that falls short: Jesus introduces Himself in Revelation 1:8 as the Alpha and Omega, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty," while the Father is also called by that term elsewhere. Titles such as Elohim, Creator, Lord, and Yahweh likewise cover both. The title "God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" does not prove that the Father was the God the patriarchs knew. Acts 7:38, Judges 2:1, Genesis 22, Genesis 31, and Genesis 48 show that the Angel of the Lord, the pre-incarnate Christ, spoke to them, made the covenant, and promised the land, acting as the Lord Yahweh. The New Testament insists that no one has seen the Father except the Son (John 1:18; 5:37; 6:46; 1 Timothy 6:16), so the One who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses must have been the Son. The Father is God over all and certainly was God of the fathers, and He has always been working. Yet the One the fathers saw and interacted with was the divine Messenger, who was God, the Almighty, and Yahweh, and who later became flesh. The Father is the One so awesome that only the sinless blood of God incarnate opened access to Him. The high priest approached only the subordinate Almighty God.
