Numbers 23:19 (NIV) “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Malachi 3:6 (ESV) “ For I the LORD do not change therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.”Ģ. Instead, his demeanor is constant, which provides us with comfort.ġ. He is also never irritable, nor does He possess any of the negative qualities found in humans because it would be impossible for Him (1 Chronicles 16:34). But God does not change, allowing us to put our faith in Him. God’s way of restoring us to Himself is via repentance and faith in Christ.Ī god who changes is not worth knowing as we would not be able to put our faith in that god. As a result, He took steps to rescue us from our sin, which we are powerless to change, and He sent His only begotten Son to save us. His longing for friendship with people and his love for humanity remained unchanged. God did not change when humans fell into sin. The techniques He uses to deal with people have evolved over time, but the ideals and purposes that underpin those approaches have not. His character attributes of love, mercy, kindness, justice, and wisdom are always perfect. Nothing about God changes, and nothing about Him changes (James 1:17). Immutability is God’s property of never changing. He cannot change because He cannot get any better than He is, and He cannot fail or become less than perfect because He cannot get any worse. God changing would imply that He either improves or fail because God is the pinnacle of perfection we know He cannot change. A change is a movement in a different direction. In Malachi 3:6, God declares, “I, the Lord, never change.” That is where we will begin.
