How do we know God's nature has not changed?

Answered in 1 source

God's nature remains constant, as affirmed in scripture: He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

The assertion that God's nature has not changed is foundational in Reformed theology. The God of the Old Testament, who commanded the destruction of the Amalekites, is the same God revealed in the New Testament who offers grace and love through Jesus Christ. This continuity is encapsulated in Hebrews 13:8, which states, 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever,' affirming God's unchanging nature. God’s judgments are expressions of His holiness and justice, and they illustrate profound truths about sin and redemption. Thus, understanding the historical context and typology of Old Testament narratives enriches our comprehension of God's consistent character throughout Scripture.
