Where Did God Come From?

Before ..You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting, You are God. (Psalm 90-2 NKJV)

Have you had friends or family try and tell you about "The Big Bang Theory" Not the  TV show!! :)  Or how about evolution?

Let's squash those theories and myths right now shall we?


God has always existed. There has never been a time when God didn't exist. Since He has always been around, He didn't need to come from anywhere. Neither did He emerge from some other dimension into our present space-time reality. After all, God was the one who created space and time and all the dimensions in the first place.

One of God;s titles is "the Eternal God" (Genesis 21:33 NIV). David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, stated "You are from all eternity" (Psalm 93:2 NIV). The concept of infinity is difficult for our finite minds to grasp. In our experience, all life has both a beginning and an ending. Even the universe itself, as ancient as it is, once had a spectacular inception. But God has neither beginning nor end. He is utterly beyond any frame of reference that we have or can even logically theorize.

We cannot begin to grasp the concept of an all-powerful Being who lives for endless ages. We can only say like Job, "How great is God---Beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out" (Job 36:26 NIV). In fact, for God to be God, He has to be beyond our understanding. If we understand Him, we'd be omnipotent (all-knowing) like Him. And of course we are not. He is, as Job said, a mystery past finding out.

Some people ask, Who made God?" The logical answer is that no one made God. If some other being had made God, then that being would be God. And we would still be left wondering where that being came from. But the Lord tells us, "I am the first and the last, I am the one and only God" (Isaiah 44:6 NIV)

Discussion questions:

1) Do you think most humans can grasp an infinite God?   Why? or Why Not?

2) What do you think God did before creating the universe?   Hmmm?
