Well the first thing that I like to point out in this lesson is, that God has these certain attributes. I think it behooves us to just constantly remind ourselves of these from time to time that God is Sovereign. He is absolutely Sovereign, and there is no one above Him. He never has to go to someone else for advice or for questioning. He is absolute in His Sovereignty. Secondly, we can say that God is immutable, and the best verse that most of us know concerning that is in the Book of Hebrews where it says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!" He has never changed in the past, He has not changed as of today, and He will never change in the eternity future, because He is immutable!
I have some school teachers in my classes and they like to tell me that the kids will remind them every once in a while, "After all we're living in the 1990's," as if that makes all the difference in the world. But concerning God, the things that God laid down at the beginning are still applicable today. God hasn't changed His attitude toward sin simply because it's a later time in human history. He is immutable, and the things that He declared anathema back there in the Old Testament, are still the same in His sight today, and they will be in the future if He tarries, because God changes not! God is always the same!
Those of you who dealt with human beings a lot more years even than I have known, that you've had people in your experience that maybe at one time you could trust them explicitly. But maybe sometime years later you found that that you couldn't trust them, well what's happened? Well they've had a change their attitudes and they are not immutable, but God is. God never changes!
