Bible Question:
Hello, I don't know how to ask this question with any biblical references.. So here goes. Where in the bible does it say Jesus has never change, he is the same? Jesus is God so he should have the same attribute, when it says God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. |
Bible Answer: Hi, Noveta! Recognizing that God does not change does not limit God to our finite understanding of "same attribute!" We find that Jesus and the Father are One (John 10:30)... that the Father lives in the Son and that the Son lives in the Father (John 10:38)... we also find that God is Spirit (John 4:24)... that He is transcendent (2 Peter 3:8)... that He is Omniscient (John 16:30)... that He is Eternal (Revelation 4:9)... But we find too... that He is everywhere (Omnipresent) (Ephisians 1:23) and that everything that exists was given form by Him (Colossenses 1:16)... Additionally, we know that He can appear to His servants in any form (walking in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8); as pillar of fire and smoke (Exodus 13:21); as a man (Genesis 18:1-33); as a Rock which gave water to Israel (1 Corinthians 10:4); as a dove (Mark 1:10); as a Lamb (Revelatin 5:6-11); again as a man (Philippians 2:6-7; John 1:14) and finally as a glorified man who can be everywhere at once and can overpower the senses and can materialize in the middle of a locked room (John 20:11 thru 21:14; Acts 1:1-3)... Regardless of Jesus' exterior it is clear that Satan and his minions (spiritual beings) recognized Him immediately as they came into His presence: God (His Spiritual Essence) does not change!
