His power is unabated, his wisdom undiminished, his holiness unsullied. The attributes of God can no more change than Deity can cease to be. His veracity is immutable, for his Word is “forever settled in heaven” (Ps. 119:89). His love is eternal: “I have loved thee with an everlasting love” (Jer. 31:3), and “Having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end” (John 13:1). His mercy ceases not, for it is “everlasting” (Ps. 100:5).
