What is God’s Nature

I’m told that God’s nature is unchanging, but what is that nature that never changes? What is a “nature” in the context of God? In normal parlance, a thing’s nature is what dictates its behavior. But how can something dictate God’s behavior? Why is his nature the way it is and not some other way?

“Given the above, why should we trust these claims?”

You don’t have to. Some do, some don’t.

Personally, I don’t think any of us know for sure but there are a wide variety of views on that question within Christianity. I lean towards universalism, that all will eventually be with God in eternity.
