God
is Spirit, and He never changes. To “never change” This
aspect of God is called “immutability.” The prophet Malachi
wrote:
“For I am the LORD, I change not;
therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” (Malachi
3:6)
Since God
does not change, He is “timeless.” He inhabits eternity, viewing the
past, present and future at the same time. The Bible teaches that
God is “everlasting”:
“But now is made manifest, and by the
scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the
everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of
faith.” (Romans
16:26)
In the Greek, the word “everlasting”
means “without beginning or ending.” God has no beginning, and will
have no end. He dwells beyond the boundaries of time itself. He
is the “immutable beginning and end,” dwelling where creation began,
and will end. He said:
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to
come, the Almighty.” (Revelation 1:8)
