Where did God come from? It's that profound question that stops many Christians in their tracks, especially when faced with skeptical friends or curious seekers. The answer unlocks a dimension of faith that transforms how we understand everything about our Creator and ourselves.
The eternal nature of God isn't merely a theological abstraction—it's the bedrock of Christian understanding revealed throughout scripture. From Psalm 90's declaration of God existing "from everlasting to everlasting" to God's self-revelation as "I AM" to Moses, the Bible consistently presents a God who transcends time completely. He doesn't just live forever within time; He exists outside time's framework entirely, seeing past, present, and future simultaneously like an author who knows every detail of a story before writing the first word.
This eternal perspective aligns perfectly with philosophical reasoning. The "First Cause" argument, dating back to Aristotle's "Unmoved Mover," recognizes that everything beginning to exist requires a cause. Since the universe demonstrably began, it logically requires an uncaused first cause—precisely what scripture reveals about God. Rather than being a theological convenience, God's eternal nature satisfies both biblical revelation and logical necessity. When we grasp this truth, our faith deepens as we realize God's promises stand on the firmest possible foundation, our salvation is secured by One who transcends all limitations, and our momentary troubles are held within His eternal perspective.
