What They Said

“God’s immutability presupposes His faithfulness.  If He is unchanging, it follows that He could not be unfaithful.  Upon God’s faithfulness rests our whole hope of future blessedness.  Only as He is faithful will His covenants stand and His promises be honored.”

A. W. Tozer

“God is unchangeable, and, being unchangeable, He will certainly support and deliver His Church, and that in the best way and fittest season.”

Edward Pearse

“It is that perfection of God by which he is devoid of all change, not only in His Being, but also in His perfections, and in His purposes and promises.”

Louis Berkhof

 “All that God is He has always been, and all that He has been and is He will ever be.”

Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

(Quoted in The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer)

"God cannot change for the better, for He is already perfect; and being perfect, He cannot change for the worse.  Altogether unaffected by anything outside Himself, improvement or deterioration is impossible.  He is perpetually the same."

A.W. Pink
