When we say someone does not change and has unchanging heart, it means that he or she is consistent and steady in doing something or for something. Some biblical figures showed unchanging love and good deeds in any sort of situation. God was pleased with their deeds and faith and led them to the way of answers and blessing. When we achieve this unchanging heart, we can be guided to prosperous ways all the time.



Ruth served her mother-in-law not just because it was her duty, but with love and devotion.

Ruth was a Gentile woman. Her husband died and she had no child. But she served her mother-in-law until the end and loved God. She eventually became a blessed woman. Her service went beyond just doing her duty as a daughter-in-law. She served her mother-in-law with love and devotion. By the guidance of God, she was blessed to be a great-grandmother of King David and is listed in the genealogy of Christ.

Look closely into your hearts. Do you give thanks when something bad happens to you as well as when something good happens? Do you come close to someone when things look to be beneficial, but distance yourself when things are not beneficial? We should check ourselves and try to serve and love all people without changing.


Even though Saul tried to kill David, David unchangingly acted with goodness and love toward Saul

King Saul became more and more jealous of David because he was loved by the people. He followed David with even three thousand soldiers to kill him and David was on the run from him. However, David unchangingly served Saul as the king and moved his heart with goodness so that he could repent (1 Samuel 24).

God took delight in this David and blessed him to become the king of the united kingdoms of Israel. Let's check ourselves. Can we react with goodness and love like David did to those who do harm to us? Some people easily change their serving towards their superior and fervor cools down just because he did not recognize his effort. Then, they should cast away such changing heart by praying fervently and ask for God's grace and strength.


Daniel kept faith even when cast into a den of lions and his three friends kept faith when thrown into a fiery furnace.

Daniel was thrown into a den of lions because of evil people's scheming. But he did not complain against God, regret what he did, or blame others. He regarded faith in God more important than his own life. In the end, he was protected in the den of lions, and afterwards he was loved more by the king (Daniel 6).

Daniel's three friends also did not obey the command of the king telling them to bow before a golden image. So they were thrown into the blazing furnace. Until the very end they did not change their hearts and showed sincere hearts. Thereby they were not hurt at all and rather lifted up more (Daniel 3).

If we do not have changing heart we will not violate the law of God. Some people may feel disappointed and their faith may change when the answers seem to be slow, but they should remember how thankful they should be just because of the grace of salvation.


Jephthah and Hannah unchangingly kept vows they made before God

To achieve unchanging heart, it is important to keep the words we have spoken (James 3:2). We should be careful and discreet making a promise or vow with God. Once we make it, we should keep it. Jephthah kept the vow he had made before God although it was to sacrifice his only daughter. He kept and acted upon what he had promised to do before God (Judges 11).

Hannah also offered up vowed prayer before God and received the blessing of conception (1 Samuel 1:11). After she gave birth to her son Samuel, she gave her son to God as she had promised. She did not hesitate or feel sad. Rather she felt thankful for the grace of God who answered her prayer and offered up praise of thanksgiving. God was pleased with it and gave her three more sons and two daughters.


Apostle Paul unchangingly loved the Lord until his martyrdom

Apostle Paul was zealous for the Law with much knowledge of it. Not realizing the providence of salvation through Jesus Christ, he tried to chase Christians and put them into prisons. However, in the providence of God, he met the Lord and turned over a new leaf.

After he met the Lord, his love for the Lord did not change in any kind of persecutions, difficulties, trials, and threatenings (2 Corinthians 11:23-27). Until he martyred, he evangelized Gentile people with unchanging fervor and love and led countless people to the way of salvation. He became a precious person in Heaven.

His faith, that is his spiritual faith, didn't change. But with passing of time, some people perform their God-given duties in a habitual manner and their first love cools down. Meanwhile, if you achieve sincere hearts, your love for the Lord will be deeper and deeper over time and duties and responsibilities are faithfully carried out until death without sparing your life as Apostle Paul did.


Mary Magdalene loved the Lord unchangingly in any kind of situation

Mary Magdalene served Jesus sparing nothing to serve Him. Even when Jesus did not recognize her, she felt thankful as long as she could serve Him. She gave out great fragrance of goodness without wanting anything in return. This love of hers greatly moved Jesus' heart.

Even when He was miserably crucified, she still followed Him. After He was buried, she went to the tomb in the early morning and was blessed to be the first person who met the resurrected Lord.

In this end time, God poured down the Holy Spirit in His providence and we have experienced the powerful works of the Holy Spirit many times. We should accomplish a sincere heart in full assurance of faith quickly and become God's children who never change in any kind of situation.
