God is unchangeable

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. 

(Hebrews 13:8)

God does not change. People change, their ideas and values change; but God and His promises stand forever. FOREVER. God the Almighty, who was there from before the foundation of this world, and He who will be there throughout all ages to come; He remains the same. 

God made a plan for this earth before He even made it. He determined in this plan who would be among His elect; those whom He would save from their own wilful disobedience. God chose a select number of people, without any condition on their part. He chose them, not because He knew they were better than others, for even Paul said of Himself that he was the chief of sinners. 

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 

(1Timothy 1:15)

God will not change His mind about those whom He has chosen. He is UNCHANGEABLE. 

For us, this means that we can stand firm in the promises of God that He has made known to us through the bible. God will not break His promises, but they will all reach their fulfillment. Because of this we can find comfort in the promises of the covenant (for example that children of believers who die in their infancy will still be saved); we can cling firmly to God's promises of salvation and eternal life. 

Above all, God has promised to send His Son into this world once more, to take all His elect unto Himself. 

This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven. (Acts 1:11)

God has promised that this day will come, so we can rest assured in this promise, eagerly waiting with perseverance for that day to come. For such a great and glorious day that will be!

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever. 

(Isaiah 40:8)
