God Attribute, 234

 

~ Unchanging ~

 

The fact that God is always the same, never changing, is known as the doctrine of God’s immutability.

 

Scripture ~ I am the Lord, I change not. (Malachi 3:6).

 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)

 

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. (James 1:17)

 

From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God. (Psalm 90:2).

 

You, O Lord, shall endure forever, and the remembrance of Your name to all generations. (Psalm 102:12).

 

Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. ²⁶ They will perish, but You will endure; yes, they will all grow old like a garment; like a cloak You will change them, and they will be changed.²⁷ But You are the same, and Your years will have no end. (Psalm 102:25-27)

 

Application ~ Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

 

Quote ~ “We ought therefore, to seek stability nowhere else but in God.”—John Calvin

EXTRA: The Unchanging God

~ The Immutability of God ~

“A remarkable implication of Einstein’s theory is that no matter how fast or in which direction we were to travel in an imaginary spaceship, light would always travel past us at the same speed.  Even if we traveled toward a light source at nine-tenths’ the speed of light, any light passing us in either direction would be going by us at 186,000 miles per second relative to us. This is another indication of the absoluteness of the nature of light.”   ~ from the chapter “Immutability” in the eBook “GOD’S NATURE: Sonlight Sunlight” ( https://books2read.com/GodsNature ) by Robert Lloyd Russell.

Jesus Is…, 49

~ Jesus Christ Is Immutable (unchanging) ~

Passages  ~  “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8-9). 

“Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:16-17). 

“For I am the Lord, I do not change” (Malachi 3:6a)

Significance  ~  You can depend upon Jesus Christ to be consistent.  You can depend upon Jesus Christ to fulfill all His promises.  Nothing will ever change the nature of God.

Comment  ~  God is completely holy!  Judgement for sin is coming.  But Jesus Christ—through His death on the Cross of Calvary and subsequent resurrection—has provided a way to escape your judgement for your sin.

additional remark:  For a different look and fuller understanding of the immutability of God see chapter 11, entitled “Ultimate Consistency” in the international award winning book GOD LIGHT: Sunlight Sonlight (find details by clicking on the God Light tab above).

the key question:  “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15).  This is the most important question you will ever answer.  If you do not answer it, or answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
