Dynamis signifie puissance — force, capacité d'agir. Le mot nomme les œuvres puissantes de Dieu dans les Évangiles, et la puissance de l'évangile et de l'Esprit dans le reste du Nouveau Testament.

Dynamis is the New Testament’s great word for power — the root behind English “dynamic” and “dynamite.” The Gospels use it for Jesus’ miracles; Paul uses it for the gospel and the Spirit at work in believers.

“The gospel… is the power (dynamis) of God for salvation,” Paul writes, and Jesus promises that his followers will receive dynamis when the Holy Spirit comes. Christian life is not powered by our willpower but by his power.
