We know God's constancy is true through His unwavering promises and faithfulness, as affirmed in Lamentations 3:31-32.
God's constancy is foundational to the believer's assurance of faith. In Lamentations 3:31-32, it states, 'For the Lord will not cast off forever. Though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies.' This passage reassures us that even in times of trial and suffering, God's character does not change; He remains faithful to His covenant promises. His constancy is crucial for our understanding of Him as the sovereign Lord who governs the universe with His will.
The unwavering nature of God is further highlighted in verses like James 1:17, which states, 'Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.' This reinforces the truth that God is consistently good, dependable, and unwavering in His dealings with His people. Believers can therefore trust in His constant nature, yielding comfort during difficult times and confidence in His promises.
