What does the Bible say about God's ability to save?
Answered in 16 sources
The Bible declares that God's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, emphasizing His power to save any sinner who comes to Him.
Isaiah 59:1 states, 'Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear.' This highlights that God is fully capable of saving anyone who genuinely seeks mercy and relies on His grace. Despite the pervasive sin and rebellion in the world, the inability to believe does not stem from God but from human depravity. Ultimately, the act of salvation is purely by God's grace, as He sovereignly chooses to save those whom He wills, emphasizing His complete power in the salvation process.
