Frequently Asked Questions
What does God's immutability mean practically?
It means every promise He made is still in effect. Every attribute He displayed is still active. The God who parted the Red Sea has the same power today. The love that went to the cross burns just as intensely now. You can build your life on a foundation that never shifts.
If God never changes, why do some Old Testament practices no longer apply?
God's character never changes, but His methods of relating to humanity unfold progressively. The old covenant pointed to Christ; the new covenant fulfills it. God's holiness, love, and justice remain constant — the administration of His plan develops as His purposes are revealed.
