What is the Biblical basis the for Immutable Nature of God?

score:6

Accepted answer

Here are a few verses that support this:

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 NIV

Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end. Psalm 102:25-27 NIV

For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. Malachi 3:6

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17

in Hebrews 6:18,my study brought me here to see what meaning Of "by two immutable things in which it is impossible for God to lie" Well Jesus stated in John 14:6, John 16:13, 2Timothy 2:25, Zech.8:3; In Matt."1:23,& John 1:1, also Is.12:2* John 3:16* Are one in the same.They are unchaning, they are the two immutable.

I think that Mal 3:6 answer this question straight forward:

But because I, Adonai, do not change, you sons of Ya`akov will not be destroyed. (Mal 3:6 CJB)

For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Mal 3:6 KJV)

As Barnes says in his commentary:

I am the Lord, I change not - , better, more concisely, β€œI, the Lord I change not - . The proper name of God, β€œHe who Is,” involves His unchangeableness. For change implies imperfection; it changes to that which is either more perfect or less perfect: to somewhat which that being, who changes, is not or has not. But God has everything in Himself perfectly.
