God Never Changes

-
One of the most important things about God is that He never changes. God is a perfect example of dependability.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. Psalms 90:2

People Change—God Does Not
One of the most important things about God is that He never changes. Every part of His character is as true today as it was at the beginning of time. In Malachi 3:6, God says “I the Lord do not change...” Because of this, we can describe all of God’s attributes as eternal. For example, His eternal love, His eternal justice and His eternal holiness. People aren’t like this. Only God is.

Creation is Finite; the Creator is Infinite
Our universe is finite. That means it will only be here for a little while and it hasn’t been here forever. It will end. The creation will have an end as well. Hebrews 1:12 says, “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.” Only God, the Creator, is infinite. That means God has existed and will continue to exist forever.

God Can’t Grow Up—or Grow Old
Newborn babies are mostly helpless. When they grow, they can eventually do everything an adult can do. When we’re old this growth reverses. Many times, we becomes less and less capable to do things. God is not like this! Numbers 23:19 tells us “God is not human...” He will never lose His ability to do anything. In fact, if God could change, he wouldn’t be God at all. Hebrews 13:8 tells us “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

What This Means to Us
We don’t have to wonder if God will be nice today and mean tomorrow. In a world where everything and everyone changes, we can depend on God’s faithfulness.

Pray this week:
and tell the Lord that you will trust Him to get you through any circumstance.

Hebrews 13:8 says God is the same yesterday, today and forever... does that mean He can help you in your times of trouble? How has He rescued you or changed you recently? How have you grown in your faith in God, and how did that come about?

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
