Read through the Bible: Psalm 120-121; Hebrews 1
“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.”
Hebrews 1:10-12 ESV
I’m thankful God has given mankind the ability to grow and change, so we can shed our slavery to sin and be born anew after the image of our creator. I’m thankful for the blessing it’s been to watch my own babies grow up – learning to walk and talk, and read and write, and now with one raising babies of her own, one navigating married life, one on the verge of getting married, and one just graduated from high school and preparing to go to college.
But I’m equally thankful that God doesn’t change. He is immutable – that’s a fancy word for “unchanging.” God is perfect. He always will be perfect. Everything He does is perfect. We don’t need to worry that He’ll outgrow His love for us or learn something new about us, because He already knew it all from before the beginning of time. God is God. And we’re not. All Praise to His Holy Name!
If you’d like to learn more about who God is and what He’s like, I hope you’ll pick up a copy of my latest book, “Who is God? A Former Atheist Looks at the Attributes of God.” It examines twenty of God’s attributes, including His holiness, sovereignty, and self-sufficiency, in simple, practical language that even a brand-new Christian can understand.
Heavenly Father, What a comfort it is to know that You are the unchanging God! Even things that seem unchanging – the sandy seashore, the rocky mountains, the sun, moon, and stars – even these things change and wear out. But You, oh God, You remain the same. You never have to get better because You are already completely perfect. You will never wear out or grow old or get weary. I’m looking forward to eternity with You. In the name of Jesus Christ, Your Eternal Son, I pray. Amen.
