The term "unassailable" refers to something that cannot be attacked, questioned, or defeated. In a biblical context, this concept is often associated with the nature of God, His promises, and the truth of His Word. The Bible presents God as an unassailable fortress, a refuge for those who trust in Him, and His Word as an unchanging truth that stands firm against any challenge.

God as Unassailable

The Bible frequently describes God as a stronghold and a refuge, emphasizing His unassailable nature. In Psalm 18:2 , David declares, "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." This imagery portrays God as an impregnable fortress, providing safety and security to those who seek Him.

Similarly, in Psalm 46:1-3 , the psalmist writes, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas, though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge." Here, God's unassailable nature is highlighted as a source of confidence and peace, even amidst chaos and destruction.

The Unassailable Nature of God's Promises

God's promises are depicted as unassailable, meaning they are certain and reliable. In Numbers 23:19 , it is stated, "God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?" This verse underscores the trustworthiness of God's promises, affirming that what He has spoken will surely come to pass.

The Apostle Paul echoes this sentiment in Romans 4:20-21 , referring to Abraham's faith: "Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised." Abraham's unwavering faith in God's unassailable promises serves as an example for believers to trust in God's faithfulness.

The Unassailable Truth of God's Word

The Bible itself is presented as an unassailable source of truth. In Isaiah 40:8 , it is written, "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever." This verse highlights the eternal and unchanging nature of God's Word, contrasting it with the transient nature of the world.

Jesus affirms the unassailable truth of Scripture in Matthew 24:35 , saying, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away." This declaration emphasizes the enduring authority and reliability of His teachings, which remain steadfast regardless of worldly changes.

Believers' Unassailable Position in Christ

For believers, their position in Christ is unassailable. Romans 8:38-39 assures, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." This passage provides comfort and assurance that nothing can sever the believer's relationship with God, highlighting the unassailable nature of His love.

In Ephesians 6:10-11 , Paul encourages believers to "be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes." The armor of God symbolizes the spiritual resources available to believers, enabling them to stand firm and unassailable against spiritual attacks.

In summary, the concept of "unassailable" in the Bible is intricately linked to the character of God, the certainty of His promises, the enduring truth of His Word, and the secure position of believers in Christ. These elements collectively underscore the steadfastness and reliability of the divine, offering believers a foundation of unwavering faith and hope.
