“For I, the Lord, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
Malachi 3:6
God does not change. In His nature and essential being, the Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. (Hebrews 13:8) Everything on this planet changes each day and sometimes at dizzying speed. Yet, Yahweh remains faithful, secure, and immutable in His being and person.
God’s immutability (unchanging nature) is a source of great comfort. The unalterable nature of the Lord means that we can trust Him in all times and seasons. This doctrine encourages us to remain in the eternal word He has given us and to obey Christ no matter the situation.
Our God works in many ways and He definitely delights in variety. Yet, the Lord’s eternal character is constant and strong. He never wavers and He never falters.
Because of these facts, Christians can trust and obey in every circumstance whether sweet or sorrowful. Child of God, trust in the immutable, unchanging Savior who gave His life for you. He will never fail you and He will always be true to His promises.
