God said there's coming a day when I'm going to shake the world
But some things will not be shaken
Some things remain
in other words, there's coming a time
When the world will be pressed and they'll be no way out. Those times come in your life. In your home
Tension, friction, financial trouble
You're pressed
And there doesn't seem to be a way out. There is an answer. There is a way
Jesus said I am the way
But in the midst of all this changing there are some things that never change think of it a moment what never changes
The nature of God doesn't change
God hasn't changed
He hasn't changed to adapt himself to our generation
God is unchanging. I am the Lord God I change not
God is unchanging in His Holiness
We're all guilty
Of coming short of God's holy requirements and we're all sinners and we're all in need of the grace and mercy of God
And that's why the Lord Jesus came and died on the cross. He died for your sins
He died for mine and God took your sins and laid them on Christ
God changes not in his holiness and let me tell you because he is a holy God he is also
Unchanging in his judgment. There is a Judgment Day coming. Our God is a consuming fire
The Bible is filled with stories of judgment our Lord talk more about Hell than he did heaven
There is a day of judgment coming God is a holy God and you and I are going to stand there
and when I stand there
I'm not going to ask for justice. I'm going to ask for mercy
I need mercy
I need the grace of God. I need the forgiveness of God, and I want to tell you a wonderful thing
God loves you and he offers you tonight
forgiveness and he offers you mercy
God can forgive every sin you've ever committed
God can wipe the slate clean because of Christ
Not because you deserve it
For by grace, are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves
It is the gift of God not of works
Lest any man should boast you can't work your way to heaven. You can't buy your way to heaven
God is unchanging
He's unchanging in his love
God loves you
That's the most wonderful thing to go to bed with at night to know that God loves me
God forgives me God is interested in me
But I must receive him
Secondly the Word of God does not change
The grass withereth and the flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever
I settled that a long time ago
There are a lot of things in this Bible I don't understand. They're questions you could ask me that I cannot answer
I don't know all the answers in this book. How can a finite mind like mine comprehend the infinite? I cannot
So one day I opened the Bible I said O Lord I accept this is your word by faith
And that settled it from that moment on. When I quote the scriptures. I know that I'm quoting the Word of God. It's a living word
And lastly
The way of salvation has not changed
All these centuries the way to the kingdom of God is exactly the same
Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no man, cometh to the Father, but by me
He will never change but you must change
