Transforming Power Statements:
1) From Genesis to Malachi there is a central theme about the unchangeable attributes of God that runs implicitly within the background of every account given through the lives of the characters presented in the Scriptures, which expresses the reason why salvation which has always been provided by God to all who embrace Him by faith alone, and never by a standard of “perfect works” which is easy to see, because there isn’t a single character without a flaw
2) The doctrine of “the immutability of God” is the phrase used to describe the fact that God never changes, has always been the same, and is perfect lacking nothing, and never needs anything because He is the creator and sustainer of all things visible and invisible.
3) “Coram Deo” Let us focus on “How we live” everyday as we come more to understand what God our Father has provided for us when He willfully offered up His Only-Begotten Son, Jesus, Who ALONE gave Himself up to be the only mediator between all who believe in God, who need the eternal perfect barrier between themselves and the wrath of ALMIGHTY GOD, to develop and share “Unshakable Faith In Jesus Christ” and learn to live it at all times!
