The Immutability of God

Sermonette by Ronny H. Graham

One of the rock solid, dependable characteristics of God for which we can take comfort is His immutability. He cannot lie or become capricious.

God's Non-Transmittable Attributes (Part Four): Immutability

Bible Study by Martin G. Collins

God's immutability is a cornerstone of our faith, reflecting His unchanging nature and character in all situations. He is constant and consistent, unlike humans, always trustworthy because He keeps His word without succumbing to emotional or impulsive actions. His immutability ensures that He never changes His mind about His plan or His requirements for salvation, though He may use different approaches to account for human variability. We can rest assured that the God we worship is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God never breaks a promise, standing by every declaration for all eternity. If He says He will do something, He does it, confirming by an oath to His followers that His will is immutable. His mind and intentions remain fixed, providing the foundation for our hope in salvation and eternal life. Whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to or taken from it. His counsel stands forever, and His plans extend to all generations. In contrast to humanity's ever-changing chaos, His coming Kingdom is designed with absolute perfection and unadulterated truth, leaving nothing to chance. We find comfort in our confidence that He and all He has promised are unchanging, as He guarantees that what He has spoken and purposed will come to pass. While some biblical passages may portray God as a Teacher, Parent, or Judge, allowing for expressions of disappointment, mercy, or forgiveness, this does not signify a change in His law, promises, or purpose. As our Judge, He maintains the right to bless or curse and to adjust His disposition toward us based on our response to Him, reflecting our change rather than His. Ultimately, God's immutability assures us that He who has begun a good work in us will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. In a world of constant human change, we find stability and peace in a God whose truth and values are grounded in His unchanging divine essence.
