The idea of being immovable is often associated with spiritual firmness, unwavering faith, and the unchanging nature of God.<br><br><b>Biblical Context and Meaning</b><br><br>1. <b>Steadfastness in Faith</b>: The Apostle Paul frequently exhorts believers to stand firm in their faith. In <a href="/1_corinthians/15-58.htm">1 Corinthians 15:58</a> , Paul writes, "Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." Here, "immovable" is used to describe a state of spiritual resilience and dedication to God's work, encouraging believers to remain unwavering despite challenges.<br><br>2. <b>God's Unchanging Nature</b>: The immovability of God is a central theme in the Bible. In <a href="/malachi/3-6.htm">Malachi 3:6</a> , God declares, "For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed." This verse highlights the constancy and reliability of God, whose promises and character remain steadfast throughout time.<br><br>3. <b>The Rock Metaphor</b>: The imagery of God as a rock is prevalent in the Scriptures, symbolizing strength and stability. <a href="/psalms/62-6.htm">Psalm 62:6</a> states, "He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken." This metaphor underscores the immovable nature of God as a foundation upon which believers can securely build their lives.<br><br>4. <b>Faith and Obedience</b>: The parable of the wise and foolish builders in <a href="/matthew/7-24.htm">Matthew 7:24-27</a> illustrates the importance of building one's life on the solid foundation of Christ's teachings. Jesus says, "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." The house built on the rock remains immovable despite storms, symbolizing the security found in obedience to Christ.<br><br>5. <b>Perseverance in Trials</b>: The New Testament encourages believers to remain steadfast in the face of persecution and trials. <a href="/james/1-12.htm">James 1:12</a> states, "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him." This perseverance is a form of spiritual immovability, reflecting a deep trust in God's faithfulness.<br><br>6. <b>The Church's Foundation</b>: The Church is described as being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. <a href="/ephesians/2-20.htm">Ephesians 2:20</a> emphasizes this foundation, indicating the immovable nature of the Church's spiritual structure, grounded in the truth of the Gospel.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of being immovable is integral to understanding the Christian life. It calls believers to a life of unwavering faith, rooted in the unchanging nature of God and His Word. This immovability is not a call to rigidity but to a dynamic faith that withstands the trials and tribulations of life, anchored in the eternal promises of God. The assurance of God's immovable nature provides believers with confidence and hope, empowering them to live boldly and faithfully in a world of uncertainty.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>adv.</I>) In an immovable manner.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/aquinas/summa_theologica/whether_the_will_of_the.htm"><span class="l">Whether the Will of the Demons is Obstinate in Evil?</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Now the angel's apprehension differs from man's in this respect, that the angel<br> by his intellect apprehends <b>immovably</b>, as we apprehend <b>immovably</b> first <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/aquinas/summa theologica/whether the will of the.htm</font><p><a href="/library/suso/a_little_book_of_eternal_wisdom/on_monday_or_at_prime.htm"><span class="l">On Monday, or at Prime.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Thy left made fast; 7.
