Immutability and relational mutability

A thread came up, recently, and it cause me to revisit an article I’d read by Bruce Ware.

The thrust of the article is that the God of the Bible is personal and has freely chosen to relate with mankind. God, being unchangable in himself, willingly changes in his relation to us. In short, Ware provides a picture of God as ontologically immutable, but also relationally mutable.
