IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

Mat 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Though it may at first sound like an oxymoron, there are some things impossible for an omnipotent God! He has actually limited Himself by His own honesty. Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Because of this, it is impossible for;
I. God to overlook sin.
Ezek 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Gen 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.

II. Impossible that sin be forgiven except through the blood of Christ.
Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission
.
III. It was impossible that the grave could hold Jesus.
Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

IV. It is Impossible to Serve God without some degree of Suffering. Luke 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

V. It is Impossible to Please God except by a Walk by Faith.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

VI. It is Impossible for one who has been saved to ever be doomed to hell. Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

VII. It is Impossible for God to Turn Away a repentant sinner who seeks salvation on the merits of the blood of Christ.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
John 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
