“In Him There Is No Variableness”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Though it is true that polices and procedures and programs associated with the true Church may vary over time, though it is true that the kingdom of God on earth is based upon revelation adapted to the circumstances in which the children of that kingdom are placed (see Teachings, pp. 255-56), yet God does not change, and neither do his ordinances and covenants. Though it is true that the revelation given to Enoch was not sufficient to educate Noah in the building of an ark, yet what is constant and everlastingly consistent is revelation itself, the very fact that God did indeed manifest himself to Noah. As Nephi was taught, God is forever the same in the sense that he manifests and reveals himself to those who exercise faith in his Son (see 1 Nephi 10:17-19).
