God
Remains the Same
“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not
consumed,” Malachi
3:6.
Knowing that the LORD never changes can be a real gem when it comes to
service.
Learning that God “…in the beginning
hast laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the works of Thy
hands: …” (Heb. 1:10) is a doctrine that faith can be built
upon; for, clearly, the Word of God has but only one truth from Genesis to
Revelation.
God does not leave us to our
own works; but tells us that “…the
LORD is my helper…” (He. 13:6), instructing
us to “Remember them
which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the Word of God: whose
faith follow, considering the end of the conversation,” He. 13:7.
Further, the Book of Hebrews provides us with a long list
of those who walked by faith, trusting God, always. Truly, they knew that God’s
leading would bring them to the promise. JUST WHAT IS THE PROMISE, YOU ASK?
It’s
recorded in Genesis 12:7: “And the LORD
appeared Abram and said, ‘Unto thy seed will I give the land: …”
Galatians
3:12-14 brings it to us in the New Testament: “Christ hath
redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us: … That the
blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ: that we
might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
Then, we
see the promises of Galatians, in the above verses, come together. God’s
original plan to bless all men was to bring them to Him through the work and
faith of His Son, Jesus Christ. “Now to Abraham and
his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as
of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ, Galatians 3:16.
There is a
lot of truth when we study the Attributes of God; such as, His Omnipotence to
create; His Omniscience to know the beginning from the end and, His
Omnipresence to walk us through His plan as we believe all that He is and all
that He has done, and is doing for us.
