A youngster recently asked, “Who made God?”  That’s a good, fair question.

No one did.

God is eternal.  He always has been, and always will be.

That is pretty tough for us to understand. 

But the Bible tells us a number of things that are helpful in this regard.  For instance, it tells us that God existed before time, and will after time:

“Before the mountains were brought forth,

or ever you had formed the earth and the world,

from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” (Psalm 90:2,  ESV)

Furthermore, timeless eternity is defined by God Himself:

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”  (Revelation 1:8,  ESV)

Remember too, that God created time as we know it (Genesis 1:3-5).

And the exciting thing about God always existing is that He promises that we will live forever as well~!  “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” (John 11:25-26,  ESV)

So that is what is really great about the fact that nobody made God.
