Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Wilkin defines God's immutability as the teaching that God does not change in his being, his character, or his will. How does this connect to the other attributes already discussed — his self-existence, self-sufficiency, and eternality? Do they require each other?

3.James describes God as the Father of lights 'with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.' In your own experience of God, have there been seasons when he felt inconsistent or unpredictable? What was actually changing — God, or your perception of him?
