God Is Immutable

Scripture Focus: Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8
"The heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain. . . . . Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded, but you remain the same" (Psalm 102:25-27).

God declares His immutability by calling Himself "I am who I am" (Exodus 3:14). We don't have to worry about God turning on us or abandoning us. His character remains the same throughout eternity. Love, life, and light flow from Him forever.

God cannot improve, because He is already perfect. He cannot deteriorate, because He is almighty. Some scientist will never find an undiscovered fact that will convince God to change His plan. God asks a question about Himself, "Does he promise and not fulfill?" (Numbers 23:19) God's immutability ensures His promises. It will always be true that Christ's sinless life and sacrificial death is the way to forgiveness.

Though God's character and plan will never change, His methods may. His children's prayers have caused changes through the years. By searching the Scriptures, we learn to pray in His will and for His glory. Then we can pray in faith, knowing His answer will harmonize with His plan.

"I the Lord do not change" (Malachi 3:6).
