Hebrews 1:10-12
Excerpted from: Do You See God?

Now, to you and to me, the physical seems so solid. It is virtually indestructible. It is permanent - at least, in terms of own short existence on this earth. But this book (specifically, in relation to this sermon, the book of Hebrews) is telling us to get our attention off that which is immediate, that which is the around and the about, that which is so physically oriented to us. We are to get our lives, our thinking, our focus, out of that area and into the eternality of Christ's dominion.

One of the profound realities of God and His Word is that they are changeless. You remain, it says there, but we grow old, and we die. The eternal values never change, and even more exciting is that they can be taken through the grave.

Now, what in life is important to you? Is it the immediate gratifications that are offered by this world? Is it the around and the about? If so, I think it is not likely that you will see God very frequently.

Let us ask this question in another way. What is it that demands decisions and choices in your life? Brethren, we cannot identify with, we cannot worship, a transient process. Something must abide. That is what we are being told in verses 10-12. Something changeless must abide. Something must continue unchanging to which we may cling and within which we may live our life here by faith.

Hebrews 1:10-12
Excerpted from: Love's Greatest Challenges

God never changes. There is the contrast. God never grows old. Nothing about Him ever wears out. Nothing about Him ever deteriorates, degenerates, or declines. He is as sharp now as He was twenty billion years ago, and twenty billion years before that. That is hard for us to conceive, but that is the way He is.

What we are looking at here (in Hebrews 1:10-12) is a very simple statement of what scientists call "the second law of thermodynamics." We are looking at what they term as 'entropy'. Entropy came into the English language through the Greek, and it means to turn or to change. Now, I will give you a longer definition: "the degradation (that means the breaking down) of the matter and energy in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity." What that means is that everything, every material thing that God has created (including you and me) is eventually going to come to the place where we are back to nothing more than atoms and molecules—and in a disorganized state, at that.
