Forever, O Lord,
Your Word is settled in heaven.
Your faithfulness endures to all generations.
Psalm 119:89-90
God Himself says: “I, the Lord, do not change” (Malachi 3:6)
With God “there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17). “Jesus Christ is the same. The same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8)
He is immutable—unchanging. He is not loving one moment and wrathful the next. His wrath coexists with His love; therefore, the two never contradict, even when by human logic they seem in opposition. Such are the perfections of God that we can never begin to comprehend these things. Above all, we must not set aspects of God's nature against one another, as if there were somehow a discrepancy in God. God is always true to Himself and true to His Word (Romans 3:4; 2 Timothy 2:13). We can trust that His love and justice truly will remain steadfast forever (Psalm 136).
