BIBLE BULLETS – 37

Hebrews 13:8

Yesterday we considered the obvious existence of God. But what do we know of our Creator? What are His attributes? What does the Bible teach us about God?

Today let’s quickly consider these twin truths about our God. He is eternal and immutable (unchanging).

He is “the Ancient of Days” (Daniel 7:9), “the Everlasting God” (Genesis 21:33), “the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God … forever and ever” (1 Timothy 1:17).

The Psalmist sings, “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; your rule is for all generations” (Psalm 145:13), “My God … Your years continue through all generations” (Psalm 102:24), “The Lord sits enthroned forever” (Psalm 9:7).

He is the self-described “Alpha and the Omega … the one who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty”(Revelation 1:8), the “I AM” (Exodus 3:14). He always was. He is. He always will be… God.

God is eternal… and eternally unchanging! He “is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

James, the humble half-brother of Jesus, wrote, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows”

(James 1:17). He “does not change!”

God doesn’t change with the seasons. He won’t become more open-minded. He won’t grow cranky and impatient. He isn’t influenced by current trends.

He was. He is. He always will be!

“… think on these things” (Philippians 4:8, KJV).
