7 Proofs Our Salvation is Eternally Secure – 6

6. God never changes

Hebrews 13:8 says: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes, even forever.”

Everything changes: people, circumstances, environments, the weather. Even our own emotions fluctuate constantly; we can be up one minute and down the next. But our salvation doesn’t hinge on our feelings. God never changes, neither does His salvation, and neither does His love for us. 

“The concept that God never changes is a fundamental belief in Christianity, rooted in several biblical passages. Malachi 3 states, "For I the Lord do not change," and James 1 emphasizes that God is "the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." These verses affirm God's immutability, meaning that His nature and attributes remain constant.

This belief in God's unchanging nature provides comfort and stability in a world of constant change. It means that God's love, faithfulness, mercy, justice, and power are the same as they were when the universe was created. His promises and covenant with humanity also remain unbroken, offering assurance and hope.” ^[1]

            God’s grand plan from the foundations of the world has not changed. Knowing His creation would disobey, He provided a singular sacrifice that would pay the cost of all our sins. The perfection of God realized in His own Son; the second person of the Trinity with all the traits and abilities of the Father. Christ laid down His own life once for all time ushering in the Age of Grace. This is not something that is temporal; it is eternal. God doesn’t take back that which He promises. If you confess your sins and receive Christ into your heart/life, that is eternal with eternal repercussions. Missing heaven is not to be a concern for the true, bible believing individual who’s life, once transformed, lives for the King ... now and forevermore.

So in summary, the belief that God never changes is a cornerstone of Christian theology, providing a stable foundation for faith in an ever-changing world.

            Rejecting Christ along with God’s redemptive plan, voids out the gift. Until time is no more, there is always an opportunity to receive forgiveness. Be very careful not to cast aside your only hope for eternal salvation. Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
