KEY SCRIPTURE: Mal 3:6 KJV “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore, ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”

The immutability of God means He does not change. This is one of the attributes or nature of God which is not communicable with men. This means, all men tend to change.1Pet 1:24 KJV” For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:” When God was expressing His trustworthiness to the children of Israel in Moses day He said the following, Num 23:19 KJV “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” We understand by these verses that God is forever or perpetually the same, while men are not.

God is compared to a rock, when the entire ocean surrounding it is constantly in turbulence it is not moved. God has no beginning and no end and so, He cannot change. He is eternally the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning. James 1:17. God’s nature of immutability gives us solid grounds to count on every promise He gives us. Heb 6:18 KJV “That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:”

First God is immutable for his nature and being are infinite, and so subject to no change. There never was a time when He was not there, and never will come a time when He shall cease to be God. He has never evolved, grown, or improved. All He is today; He has ever been and will always be the same. Our key scripture says, I am the Lord and I change not. Malachi 3:6. This is His unqualified affirmation. He cannot change for the better for He is already perfect and will ever remain perfect. He is never affected by anything outside Himself, and improvement or decoration is also impossible. This is why He can say” I AM THAT I AM ” Ex 3:14.

The next point is that God is unchanging in His attributes. He has always been the same before the universe was created and has remained the same since then. His power is unabated, wisdom is undiminished, His Holiness is undiluted, and God’s truthfulness is the same. ‘His faithfulness is unto all generations’ Psalms 119: 89,90.

CONFESSION

Thank you, heavenly Father for your unchanging nature, and therefore we are not consumed. My grip on your promises is unyielding to any influence of any kind, therefore I always triumph giving all glory to God.

THOUGHT: GOD’S IMMUTABILITY MEANS NOTHING SHOULD EVER MOVE YOU.
