Luke 1:37

37 For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment."

Luke 1:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:37

For with God nothing shall be impossible.
] That is consistent with his nature and perfections, with his counsels, purposes, and promises: every thing that he has said, purposed, or promised, he is able to do, and will; every word that he has spoken, every thing predicted by his prophets, or declared by his angels, and particularly this of a virgin's conceiving and bearing a Son: so that the angel not only answers her question, how this should be, but confirms her faith in it; partly by the instance of her cousin Elisabeth, and partly by observing the infinite omnipotence of God.

Luke 1:37 In-Context

35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for this reason your holy offspring will be called `the Son of God.'

36 And see, your relative Elizabeth--she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

37 For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment."

38 "I am the Lord's maidservant," Mary replied; "may it be with me in accordance with your words!" And then the angel left her.

39 Not long after this, Mary rose up and went in haste into the hill country to a town in Judah.
