1) The One Unchangeable God

As I read The Knowledge of the Holy, by A.W. Tozer, I can't help but be even more worship-filled as I see how God's attributes make His grace even more amazing.

Tozer recognizes (years ago) that some have put God's love over the fact that He is just, or God's goodness high enough to contradict His holiness, His compassion trumps His truth. Some people elevate God's sovereignty so His goodness and love become less. Which are all wrong.

God does not lessen one attribute to increase more in another. He is UNCHANGEABLE and UNCHANGING.

The love He has for us now is the same love He had for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We make the same mistakes, and separate ourselves from God in the same ways they did. One fact remains, even while we were steeped in sin, Jesus paid it all on the cross at Calvary.
