“The sovereign perfection of God (Matthew 5:48) is an invincible bar to any change in Him; for whichever way you cast it for a change, His supreme excellency is impaired and nulled by it.”

–Stephen Charnock, “On the Immutability of God,” in The Existence and Attributes of God, ed. Mark Jones, Updated and Unabridged, vol. 1 & 2 (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2022), 1: 494.
