God's law is a reflection of God's mind, nature and character.

His character is summed up in 1 John 4:8 : "God is love." And 1 John 5:3 tells us, "This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments." Furthermore, God and His law share the same characteristics. We might say that His law, as summarized in the Ten Commandments, is His character in written form. In the same way, Jesus Christ showed God's character, mind and nature in perfectly keeping God's law, which is His pattern for a holy life. Just as God doesn't change in the way He thinks and deals with people (Malachi 3:6 ), neither does His law change (Matthew 5:18 ), because it is a reflection of God's unchangeable character and eternal values.
