“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” (Malachi 3:6).
“What a comfort these words are to a child of God. We, by Gods grace, have been shown through the preaching of his word our need of a Savior. Due to our fallen nature we have nothing within ourselves, worthy to stand before a Righteous and Holy God. As a matter of fact, the only thing we are worthy of is His wrath! His Judgment! Yet there is a people declared to be chosen before the foundation of the world, (Eph.1:4). People such as Isaac, and his father Abraham. When Isaac said to his father, ‘Behold we have fire and wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?’, Abraham’s response was, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. (Gen. 22:7 & 8). This is the very one John the Baptist declared, saying: Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (John1:29), when he saw Jesus approaching. We also see that the Apostle John called him the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, (Rev.13:8). So why do these words, (I CHANGE NOT) bring comfort to sinners? The LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS BEEN OUR SACRIFICE FROM THE BEGINNING! And because he is unchanging, then we who were chosen in Christ, purchased by Christ, called in Christ, can never lose our salvation in Christ! Therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”
