Welcome to our service today. It is great to have you here and we would love to invite you to stay after the service and join us for morning tea.
The Bible contains so many verses that assure us that God does not change. Malachi 3:6 says, “For I am the Lord, I do not change.” Hebrews 13:8 tells us, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.”
If God does not change, that means His attributes or characteristics do not change. Well-known preacher Charles Spurgeon listed 25 different traits of God that do not change! If God does not change, His promises do not change. Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” Whatever God promises will always be true. If God does not change, His gifts to us are ours forever. James 1:17 says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” Our salvation is forever. Forgiveness of our sins is forever. Eternal life is forever.
The God we serve is the same God today as He was when He spoke the world into existence. He is the same God today as He was the day He raised Jesus from the dead. In a society that changes constantly, what wonderful assurance it is to know that our God never changes.
