AE 689 - His Omnipotence Is Order

AE 689 [2]

In respect to Divine omnipotence:

It does not involve any power to act contrary to order,

but it involves all power to act according to order,

for all order is from the Lord . . ..

. . . it is not of the Divine omnipotence 

to save those who are not willing to be led

according to order,

for to be led according to order

is to be led according to the laws of order,

and the laws of order are 

the precepts of doctrine 

and life from the Word;

it is therefore of the Divine omnipotence to lead a man

who is willing to be led

according to these every moment and continually to eternity.
