ATTRIBUTES OF GOD: GOD IS ETERNAL

ATTRIBUTES OF GOD

GOD IS ETERNAL

The first words we read in the Bible are “In the beginning God…” (Genesis 1:1). So, the first thing we learn about God is he is eternal.  He has always existed. He will always exist.

But Genesis 1 is not the only place the Bible presents God as eternal. It consistently states that God is eternal. For example, Isaiah 57:15 says He (God) is the “High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity”. He transcends time.

Psalm 90:2 says “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God”.

Charles Ryrie  wrote: “The attribute of eternity means that God exists endlessly. His existence extends endlessly backward and forward (from our viewpoint of time) without any interruption or limitation caused by succession of events.”

God has always existed. He will always exist. He will always be there.
