Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
For I am the Lord, I change not;
Therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Repenting means revising one's judgment and changing one's plan of action.
God never does this; he never needs to, for his plans are made on the basis of a complete knowledge and control which extends to all things past, present, and future, so that there can be no sudden emergencies or unlooked-for developments to take him by surprise.
Definition of unchanged : not changed : unaltered
CHRIST IS CHANGELESS IN HIS LOVE
CHRIST IS CHANGELESS IN HIS LOVE
1. He died to prove His love; Eph. 5:2.
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
2. He manifests love in cleansing from sin; Rev. 1:5.
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
3. He gives us love that is inseparable; Rom. 8:35–39.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
