THE UNCHANGING GOD
“For I am the LORD, I do not change...-Malachi 3:6 (NKJV)
A teen once asked his father, “Is there anything that cannot change in this world?” The father answered, “Nothing.” “No condition is permanent, my dear son. It has refused to rain before. The sun has failed to shine before. People change. So, there is nothing or anyone that cannot change except…” “Except what?”, the son asked. “Except God”. Only God has never changed.
O Yes, only God is unchanging. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from God, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is neither variableness, nor shadow of turning (James 1:17). When He gives you something, He doesnt take it back unless you lose it to carelessness. The gifts and calling of God are without repentance (Romans 11:29).
His unfailing and immutable promises. “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen (2 Corinthians 1:20). His covenant is the sure and steadfast hope that can never fail, though it tarries or delayed. Even when men change, He remains faithful to His promises. Whatever He said, that Hew will do for you. Only just believe.
God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent... because He continues ever, has an unchangeable priesthood (Numbers 23:19). He promises mercy and salvation to all sinners who run to the calvary for refuge according to the covenant of the grace in His Son, Jesus Christ. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by him. Call upon Him now, He will answer you.
