Immutability of His Counsel

Hebrews 6:17 KJV
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

Gill says the immutability of God's counsel appears from,
" ....the unchangeableness of his nature,
the sovereignty of his will,
the unsearchableness of his wisdom,
the omnipotence of his arm, and
the unconditionality of the thing decreed"[1]

Barnes says that "the immutability of his counsel” means, "His fixed purpose…" and goes on to say of it, "....He meant to show in the most solemn manner that his purpose would not change. The plans of God never change; and all the hope which we can have of heaven is founded on the fact that his purpose is immutable. If he changed his plans; if he was controlled by caprice; if he willed one thing today and another thing tomorrow, who could confide in him, or who would have any hope of heaven?"[2]

God's counsel is immutable. It is unchangeable and further, needs no change. It is perfect regardless of the age or the situation. It never changes and never needs changing.

All the hope I need is found in this one truth. God changes not and His Word is perfectly adequate.

Oh Lord, help me to be faithful to Your Word.
