…..BUT GOD!

In the natural some things are just humanly impossible, but with God, all things are possible, especially with the words “But God.” Sometimes the smallest words are the most powerful. Take the phrase “But God,” if ignored in the Bible passages, it would cause a misunderstanding of those passages.

These two words are used to summarize a statement, and can be defined as “the past participle,” of “to mean” which is the intent of a: 1. Particular purpose or a 2. Particular destination

These two words are the “cornerstone of the gospel.” In Ephesians 2:4-10, we’re shown God’s response to man’s sin, where mankind is taken from ‘sin and brought to salvation’.

I say this because the word “but,” is a contrasting discourse, whereas the debt of spiritual death, is transformed into the marvel of redemption.

These two words, “But God,” are the only message that holds our hope for “the individual” and a “world” that’s dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:4-5).

Here’s the good news; God selflessly placed a ‘but’ (you and me) before His name so that our condition would not be hopeless ‘but’ be completely changed through the intervention of a merciful, faithful, and gracious God. Therefore, because of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, we have God’s “good news,” wrapped up in two wonderful words, “But God!”

In closing, American Gospel Singer Larnelle Harris penned these words, “But God sees some way, when miracles are well beyond our view. His love saves the day, when fear would tell us there is just no use. You can look the whole world over for the meaning of it all – for the purpose that mankind has always sought. In the end you’ll discover, there is no other answer “But God.”

Ps..It doesn’t matter what circumstances you’re facing today because when you end it with “BUT GOD” everything before these two words are cancelled!!!!! AMEN and AMEN!!
