How do we know God's will is necessary and immutable?

Answered in 1 source

God’s will is necessary and immutable because it reflects His unchanging nature and is always accomplished according to His purpose.

The necessity of God’s will derives from His nature; since God is immutable and sovereign, His will cannot change or be thwarted. Scriptures affirm this, as in James 1:17, which states that 'every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.' The certainty of God's will is critical for faith; without knowing that God’s promises are underpinned by His immutable nature, we lack a firm foundation for trust and assurance (2 Timothy 2:19). Understanding this necessity helps believers find comfort and confidence in their salvation and in God’s plans.
