Several key uses of dunamis in the Bible are listed below: It is His strength that makes us overcomers. It is God’s ability that makes us able to accomplish anything of value, for apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:5). We do not live the Christian life in our own power, but in God’s. In other words, the Lord has inherent power residing in Himself. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory” (Matthew 24:30). In Matthew 22:29 Jesus tells the Sadducees, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.” Jesus also said, “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. Perhaps most importantly, dunamis can refer to “inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth” (ibid.). Dunamis can also refer to “moral power and excellence of soul,” according to Thayer’s Greek Lexicon. However, dunamis is not just any power the word often refers to miraculous power or marvelous works (such as in Matthew 7:22 11:21, 23 Mark 5:30 Luke 5:17 9:1 10:13 and Acts 8:13). In Mark 9:1 Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.” “Power” here is dunamis. In the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30), the servants are given wealth based on their dunamis, or their “ability” to handle money. Loosely, the word refers to “strength, power, or ability.” It is the root word of our English words dynamite, dynamo, and dynamic. The Greek dunamis is used 120 times in the New Testament.
