Can God make mistakes?
Here's the answer:
We might make mistakes, but God doesn’t!
Making mistakes is part of being human. Some mistakes are followed by consequences. Some mistakes are even silly, like putting too much hot mustard on your sandwich! We all make mistakes.
But God doesn’t make mistakes. He is all-knowing, so nothing can take Him by surprise. You and I can only guess what tomorrow might bring, but God sees into the future— so there is nothing that can catch Him off-guard.
The Bible, which is also free of mistakes, tells us that everything is going according to God’s plan. We may see the world as being in a confusing place, but God has the situation under control. And the day is coming when King Jesus will return to earth and fix our poor, broken planet. In other words, Jesus is going to undo our mistakes and make everything right!
As long as we live, we will all continue to make mistakes. But we can always know that our God never makes mistakes!
