Hebrews 1:11 Summary
[Hebrews 1:11 tells us that everything in the world will eventually come to an end, but God will always remain. This means that while things around us may change or disappear, God stays the same forever, as seen in Psalm 102:27. It's like how our clothes wear out over time, but God doesn't change like that. He is always the same, and we can trust Him because of it, just like it says in Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.]
