    Closely related to God's immutability is His faithfulness. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

Only God can say “I never change.” (Malachi 3:6). Very closely related to the unchangeableness of God is His faithfulness. When we encounter ...read more

    How can we live in such as way as Christ followers that God will be free to show up and show off in our lives and draw unbelievers to Christ?
