As St. Thomas is aware, God’s changelessness is rather plainly implied by His perfection, since any change would be a decline from that perfection. Nonetheless, the Objectors present various reasons for thinking that God could not be immutable – that He would have to be subject to change – and so these need solutions. In our own day too, many people are inclined to object, thinking that an unchanging God would be “static.” Since in all of our finite experience, to be a living person is to be immersed in flux and change, we suppose that an unchanging God would be frozen in time, never doing anything, no more living or personal than a statue. But this is a false picture. We should not say that the eternal God is doing nothing, but that everything He does, He is doing all the time.
