Eternal God

“They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them and they will be discarded. But You remain the same, and Your years will never end.” Psalm 102:26-27
In several passages in the Bible, including this one, we read of how temporary the world and even the universe as we know it is. God created all things in six days, and one day in a split-second it will all dissolve (2 Pet. 3:10), as God creates a new heaven and a new earth.
Since we are earth-dwelling, we are part of this temporariness. While our spirits are eternal, our bodies are not. They will die and decay and pass away. Life as we know it will change when we enter eternity. But there is one thing that will not change – God, and our relationship with Him. He is eternal. He never changes. We only have blurry glimpses of Him now; then we will see Him in complete clarity. As Paul said, “Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known” (1 Cor. 13:12). Are you ready for eternity? Are you looking forward to it?
