Apostle Paul asks this question to King Agrippa - semi-believer, as most people living on earth today. Such people consider that God may probably exist, but their perceptions about who is God, which relationships may be with Him and what that means for a man’s life, are sometimes very far from a genuine devotion.

How Paul accurately formulates his rhetorical question to one of such people, not asking for an immediate answer, but set thinking. He doesn’t cast some doubt on, but also does not prove the existence of God. Besides, he doesn’t ask the opinion of king Agrippa concerning God's omnipotence - he would have then asked the question differently: "you really think impossible …". But no, everything is indubitably possible for God. But we can boldly consider of incredible the fact that God made something that contradicts His plan, His will. If death was created by God, if such is His plan about man’s fate, then the resurrection of deaths is absolutely incredible. But Holy Scriptures assert that death is a consequence of sin (Gen. 3), and God opens through the prophets (Paul's question to Agrippa in verse 27 was nonrandom) that He doesn’t wish people’s death: " As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live" (Ezek. 33:11). And it is indeed completely normal for God to improve what we spoiled, that is why the resurrection of death should in no way be consider of incredible.
