The Immutability Of God S Counsel

Hebrews 6:13-17 (NKJV) says: "For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying 'Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you'. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us."When a promise is made, one may be doubtful as to whether the fellow making the promise will fulfill it or not; but when the fellow backs up the promise with an oath - swearing by someone greater than himself, every form of doubt will disappear because the fellow is now bound to fulfill what he has promised. This was the case with God and Abraham. He gave him a promise, and since there is no one greater than Him, He decided to swear by Himself. He put His Almightiness, Holiness, Righteousness, Most Highness and Sovereignty on the line; and sure enough, He fulfilled what He promised him - He blessed him and greatly multiplied him.The text says God is determined to show to us too being the heirs of the promise He made to our father Abraham the immutability of His counsel so that we can be rest assured that what He has promised us, He will surely fulfill if only we will exhibit faith and patience as our father did - verses 15-17.The word 'immutability' according to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary means something that cannot be changed, something that will never change. That's what God is trying to get across. Since He will never tell a lie (Numbers 23:19), He is saying He will fulfill all He has promised us, without changing any of them. This is because He had sworn by Himself to do so. This book in your hand is a collection of fifty (50) of the promises He had made to all His children; as you read and meditate on them, ask Him to fulfill them in your own life and He will definitely do so

The church needs good theology that engages the head, heart, and hands. This four-volume work combines rigorous historical and theological scholarship with application and practicality—characterized by an accessible, Reformed, and experiential approach. In this volume, Joel R. Beeke and Paul M. Smalley explore the first two of eight central themes of theology: revelation and God.

God's Love Language is an easy to read, comprehensive, inspirational and thought provoking non-fictional, redemptive and life saving presentation on a subject that has eternal consequences for individuals, the family, society and our world. This researched work gives a clear and direct answer to the question: What is God's Love Language? In doing so,it compares and contrasts God's Love Language with human love language against the backdrop of love, love language, kinds of love, language and communication of love. This work also shows that God has a keen interest in building a saving and eternal relationship with human beings that is second to none. While God's Love Language outlines the outstanding benefits to persons who have used it, are using it, and will use it in the future, it also presents consequences to those who knowingly refuse to use and endorse it. God's Love Language also provides an inclusive list of persons who have used it. This list includes the rich, poor, educated, uneducated, as well as villains whose lives have been transformed permanently for good. By including users of various backgrounds and diverse experiences, it sets out to show that your life can be changed for the better; that your past does not have to define your future and your past sins or crimes need not imprison you to a life of doom and gloom. Then, as if in answer to your unspoken question, it gives the reason for this seemingly humanly impossible transformation as the beings who are at the centre of God's Love Language. Then it concludes by providing you with a priceless opportunity to make a response in favour of God's Love Language. Take this enviable, rewarding journey through this book. As you become thrilled by the gripping plots, scenes, and life changing stories along this seven chapter experience, you will conclude that while human love language is good, God's Love language is a far more excellent way. Then encourage others to take the same journey as you did and endorse God¿s Love Language.
