Omnipotent God
When we say God is omnipotent, we mean that God is all-powerful. We have already established that God is omniscient (all-knowing) and omnipresent (all-present).

Thoughts from The Bible
The ever-present God
“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!” (1 Kings 8:27, ESV). As Solomon was praying at the dedication of the Temple, he knew the small, earthly structure he built could not contain the infinite God of the universe. God made the heavens and the earth; how can He be contained by something that He created (cf. Isaiah 66:1-2)? The answer is simple: He can’t.

Omniscient God: Infinite knowledge and wisdom
The old saying that there are only two things for certain–death and taxes–is another way of stating that this world is filled with uncertainty. We also know that if we ask mom for something and she says, “maybe,” that actually means “no.”

God is creator, part 2
In the Bible, God reveals who He is, what He has done, and what He has promised to do. This revelation is the basis for our response to God in worship, service, and obedience to His Word. One of the most significant ways that God has revealed Himself is through Creation.
