Does God Change?

 Sin in Time. 

Does God Change? 

We are currently discussing sin as it relates to time. We have already defined sin, differentiated between a child of God and the lost, and explored the evolution of morals. Today, we will focus on the question: Does God Himself change? After all, it is 2025; does He “get with the times”? Does God “evolve”? The short answer is no. This is the warning we find in scripture.

“My son, fear the LORD and the king;
Do not associate with those given to change.” Proverbs 24:21

Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, LORD God, we thank you for all the blessings you bestow on us daily, including your grace and mercy, forgiveness, and love. May all the praise and glory be to you. As we enter your Word today, we ask you for eyes to see, ears to hear, and a spirit to understand and to receive your Word and your revelations. We love you, and we ask this in Yeshua’s name, amen!

We change our minds. Over time, we decide that our morals surpass those of God. In the past, we valued God, family, and freedom in this country. We all believed that a nation guided by God could face any challenges. It was widely accepted that marriage was traditionally defined as a union between one man and one woman. Many of our early laws were based on principles found in the Bible. The Big Ten is the most obvious example.

In time, we began to believe that we were a secular country. We removed God from schools, government, and public life, and now we wonder why there’s a moral decline. How do you change the future? Start in the schools. Slowly, over time. You transform what has always been into what you want it to be. 

Without God, the Bible, and prayer in school, there are no morals, no truth, and no foundation of right and wrong. Generation after generation, we drift further from the truth. Eventually, we no longer even recognize what the truth is and start to believe the lies.

How do we know what sin is today? {Holding up the Bible} This is the Bible. Right here. The Word of God. Look how Yeshua, or Jesus as translated, puts it here.

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” Matthew 24:35

God does not change. Turn to Numbers 23:19

“God is not man, that he should lie,
Or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?”

Turn to Isaiah 40. Start at verse 6

“A voice says, "Cry!"
And I said, "What shall I cry?"
All flesh is grass,
And all its beauty is like the flower of the field.

The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the LORD blows on it;
Surely the people are grass.

The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God will stand forever.” Isaiah 40:6-8

We may change. He never does. We may decide that what we like is no longer sin, but good, and should be celebrated. Yet? God still calls what is sin, as sin, and what is good, as good. As long as this, The Word of God, says this is sin? Then this is a sin.

Not only should we be aware of this fact. We should also be thankful that God remains unchanging. Why? Jesus. Why? He came to Earth and died for our sins. Therefore, we are forgiven if we accept Him. He will not, thankfully, change His mind about that.

“For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.” Malachi 3:6

Remember, the whole reason that Jesus came was because God could not lie, made a covenant with Noah, and promised that even though we are evil continuously, and worthy of death and destruction, He would not wipe us out again. Therefore, He came in the flesh to pay the price. Guess what?

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

Do you think that God is watching us and saying, "Okay, you like this or that? Fine, I will erase it from the sin column and move it to the good column. Have at it." I can tell you, the answer is no.

We are not God. We crave the things of the flesh. Right, wrong, or indifferent, it does not matter. We want to have our flesh feel good. God is wiser than us. Yeah, I know. God is wiser than us. He knows the desire for unprotected sex leads to unwanted pregnancies, diseases, lust, and even rape and murder. God says sex is great, in the confines of a marriage between one man and one woman for life.

We say recreational drugs and alcohol use are good and can be done in moderation. Besides, whatever you do behind closed doors is your business. God is wiser than us. God says being drunk or given to illicit drugs leads to the destruction of families, can lead to theft and murder, and will lead to self-destruction.

We say whatever god, or no god, is ok. Astrology and witchcraft are cool. The name of God is nothing and not important. We must work at the discretion of our employers 24/7. Our mothers and fathers are outdated and do not know better than the rest of society, and we need not listen to them. Children have rights, you know? Abortion. Marriage? Who cares? Stealing from the rich is not stealing. It is justice. Gosep is good. Make sure you keep up with the Joneses and get fortune and fame.

God gave us the Big Ten. He did not give these to us to make our lives harder, or less “fun.” God gave these to us to make our lives easier and to keep us from the snares of the devil. Oh, and yes, the devil is very real.

Simply put.

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” James 1:17

God does not change. His Word does not change. His ways and love for us do not change. Sin is sin. Good is good. Want to know the difference? Right here. The Bible. God’s Word. Why do you think it is being attacked so viciously, even in some of our false churches that are on the rise? Why do you think that Jesus is being dismissed and His importance is lessened? Many roads to God and Heaven? Why do you think the “Prosperity Gospel” works? When you remove the Truth, people will start to believe the lies.

Prayerfully read this. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you the Truth.

“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.” John 16:13

But it is so confusing. My kids came home and told me that they were learning about transgenderism. They were told that this is good and these people are victims, and we can not speak out about this because that would be hateful. Or you see over and over again on TV how this or that is not only good and natural, but should be praised, and you should have pride in those who do this or that. How do I discern?

“Every word of God proves true;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” Proverbs 30:5

This is why Paul teaches us that

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

No. God does not change with the times. No. God’s Word does not change to fit in with the times. No. Jesus would not accept or condone sin. Yes, He would call those out guilty of their sins. He would forgive them of their sin. Yet, He would say, Sin no more.

So if sin is still a sin, and if righteousness and goodness are still good, then how can we, as children of God, remain steadfast in these trying times? More importantly, in the times to come. Things are going to get worse. Join us for this topic at our next meeting.
