How do we know that God's purpose is unchangeable?

Answered in 1 source

God's purpose is unchangeable because it is based on His eternal decree, which cannot be frustrated (Romans 9:11).

The unchangeable nature of God's purpose is foundational to Reformed theology, which asserts that God is sovereign and His plans are established from eternity. Romans 9:11 states that God's purpose according to election will stand, reflecting that His decrees are not subject to alteration or chance. Throughout Scripture, we see evidence of God's faithful orchestration of events to achieve His divine will, demonstrating His omnipotence and faithfulness. Isaiah 14:24 declares, 'The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass; and as I have purposed, so it shall stand.' This assurance grants believers confidence that God's salvation plans will be fulfilled, as He is actively working out His purpose in creation.
