S U N D A Y S N I P P E T S (tm) # 8 4 8 December '96 On the Immutability of God -------------------------- by Arthur W. Pink "Immutability is one of the Divine perfections which is not sufficiently pondered. It is one of the excellencies of the Creator which distinguishes Him from all His creatures. God is perpetually the same: subject to no change in His being, attributes, or determinations. Therefore God is compared to a _rock_ (Deut. 32:4, etc.) which remains immovable, when the entire ocean surrounding it is continually in a fluctuating state; even so, though all creatures are subject to change, God is immutable. Because God has no beginning and no ending, He can know no change. He is ever- lastingly "The Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning" (James 1:17). " taken from "The Attributes of God", by Arthur W. Pink. The book covers many of the Lord's attributes, such as His Holiness, Knowledge, Power, Love, and Patience. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sunday Snippets" is the trademark of G.
