If this sort of thing is new to you, it may be difficult at first. Keep thinking it over. God is changeless because he is infinite. He has all perfections. He cannot lose any of them, so there is no past into which they can flow away. Nor is there any future from which new perfections can flow to him. He has all perfections, in the present, a present does not change and does not cease. Another word for this is eternity. The universe He created is not like that, things come and go. Change is continuous. Time and universe started together.

We must concentrate upon the concept of eternity, it brings us deep into the meaning of God. You and I, and all of us are in time, which means that we are never at any moment the whole of ourselves. What we were last year, what we shall be next year, all belongs to our total being; but last year has gone and next year has not arrived. There never a moment when we are all there. We possess our being, the philosophers say, successively. Not so God. All that he is, he possesses, in one single act of being. Eternity does not mean everlasting time, time open at both ends, so that however, far you go back into the past there is no beginning, however, far you go forward in the future, there is no end. Eternity is not time at all. It is God's total possession of himself.

God, we have seen, is changeless. This might strike us as involving him in infinite stagnation. For us, with our matter-bound habits, activity seems unthinkable without change, but this, as we see looking closer, is because we are finite. The first great activity of the infinite Spirit is knowing, with us this.........

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
