GOD IS ALWAYS THE SAME

From the beginning of time and still now, God has always been the same. He has never changed.

What has changed is man’s perception of Him. God revealed His character and nature little by little. Man could not have comprehended God’s nature even if it had been revealed in fullness at the start. In fact, we still do not fully comprehend Him even now.

In the beginning, man saw God as a singular entity. Over time, He was revealed in the plurality of a trinity. God was always a trinity, but it took mankind many generations to see that.

We may think that we know and understand the character and nature of God in His fullness, but we deceive ourselves. We cannot truly comprehend the fullness of God. To think that we do is nothing but foolish pride, boasting of our intelligence. We will only know God as He truly is once we are with Him for eternity. Until then, we see Him as though we were looking through a dark glass [1 Corinthians 13:12]. We might try to visualize Him in a physical image, but that is fruitless because He [God the Father] is not physical; He is spirit without any physical features. He only physical appearance was Jesus, in both His incarnation in birth from Mry and in His pre-incarnate manifestations in the Old Testament.

I am glad that God never changes. He loves me, and that love will never diminish. And I return my love back to Him.

Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ [God, the Son] the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
