Immutability of God

James 1:17 - "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness , neither shadow of turning."

All changes are either for the better or the worse, however, God is unchanging because He is perfect and cannot get better nor become worse.  Scripture describes God's nature, will, and character as immutable or unchanging.

To be immutable does not mean to be immobile.  God also has the qualities of personality and can act, think, create, and make decisions.

God is the Father, or Creator of the heavenly bodies.  As their Creator, He is certainly more stable than they.  With God, there is not even the slightest change; He is immutable.  God is only good - and always good. 

God is unchanging; therefore, Christians can depend on His love and power, because God does not change.
