Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Three
things are said to be unchangeable:
God
’s counsel, His word, and His
oath
(
Mal. 3:6
6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Malachi 3:6)
;
Heb. 6:17-18
17
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: (Hebrews 6:17‑18)
;
Heb. 13:8
8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8)
;
1 Peter 1:25
25
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (1 Peter 1:25)
). To these
certainty
may be attached. In
Malachi 3:6
6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Malachi 3:6)
we read, “I am
Jehovah
, I change not,” and
the
Lord
is “
the same
yesterday
, and to-
day
, and
forever
” (
Heb. 13:8
8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8)
).
From Anstey’s
Doctrinal Definitions
:
This refers to
God
’s unchanging character—His unchangeableness (
Mal. 3:6
6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Malachi 3:6)
;
Heb. 1:12; 13:8
12
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. (Hebrews 1:12)
8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8)
;
James 1:17
17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17)
). It is an attribute essential to deity. In connection with the
Lord
’s dealings with
Abraham
, there are
two
things that are said to be unchangeable:
the Word
of God’s promise, and the
oath
that He made (
Heb. 6:17-18
17
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: (Hebrews 6:17‑18)
).
