✨ What does it mean that God is immutable? ✨

👉 He does not mutate, which means he doesn’t change.

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” (Heb 13:8) 📖

Why does this matter?

1️⃣ He is not a created thing. He is. He exists and will exist forever.

2️⃣ He’s not going to change his mind. This includes His will to save you.

3️⃣ He cannot be changed. God’s love for you cannot be altered. ❤️

What does this mean in light of Jesus being both God and man?

👉 Jesus has the attributes of both God and man, but when these attributes meet in Jesus, humanity doesn’t lessen divinity. ✝️

God is not less God by becoming man. When God becomes man, His human side is mortal, which means He can die on the cross. But it wasn’t just the human side that died; the second person of the Trinity died.

The blood that covers your sin is not just human blood — it’s the blood of Christ. 🩸(That’s huge!)

He promises to join His body and blood under bread and wine for you to eat and drink for the forgiveness of your sins. His body and blood aren’t made less when this happens because God is immutable.

✝️ You can take every wrong thing you’ve ever done and throw it at God, and He picks it up, carries it to the cross, bleeds, and dies for you. His will to save you is absolute and unchangeable.

🎁 It’s a gift that God is immutable. Over and over, you can bring your sins to Jesus. Over and over, His will is unchanged: to forgive you, to save you, to love you. ❤️
