Yes, it is His assurances that tell me I can count on His statements and His Laws - of any kind.
However, I am not the first to use this concept of the need for God to be consistent in order to be God. (Alma 42:13.) 13 Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state, yea, this preparatory state; for except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice. Now the work of justice could not be destroyed; if so, God would cease to be God. (Mormon 9:19.) 19 And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles. It is important that I say that I, with you, believe this is just not a realistic concern.
