God's Power Backs His Promises
Commentators like Calvin and Robertson note that this verse is not just about God's abstract power, but the power tied to His specific promises. The Greek word used, 'rhema', refers to a spoken word or utterance. This means God's omnipotence is the guarantee that what He has specifically promised, He will accomplish. Our faith should be anchored in what God has actually said.
