New Podcast – Divine Immutability and the Christian Life: Sam Parkison and Ronni Kurtz

, · November 25, 2024

In this episode of the Credo podcast, Sam Parkison and Ronni Kurtz continue their mini-series on classical theology. In this episode in particular, they discuss the classical doctrine of divine immutability. Divine immutability is a doctrine in the Christian tradition that tells us God does not change, and it is also impossible for Him to change. God is perfect and He cannot change for the better or the worse. Divine immutability is affirmed by Malachi 3:6, “For I am the LORD, I change not,” and James 1:17, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” Divine immutability is a doctrine that gives us comfort and stability in the ever-changing world. It is a doctrine that has implications for our salvation and Christian life. Join Parkison and Kurtz in their quest to retrieve the ancient doctrine of divine immutability for the church today.
