The first sentence in the Bible is the biggest miracle of them all!

Have you ever been asked by someone, “Who created God?” I think it’s a super valid question, even though it may be kind of a ‘gotcha’ moment coming from someone who doesn’t believe there is a God.

Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Consider this next time you’re asked about where God came from, as He literally created everything from nothing! Which means God has always been, and was never created by anything or anyone.

The God of the Bible is not affected by time … by space … or by matter! If He were affected by any of these, then He wouldn’t be God.

The Bible answers this oftentimes seeming dilemma surrounding where He came from in the above verse:

1) In the beginning (Time!)

2) God created heaven (Space!)

3) And the earth (Matter!)

Time is past, present & future.

Space has length, width & height.

And matter has solid, liquid & gas.

The reality is that the God who created them, has to be outside of them. If He’s limited by time, He can’t be God. The God who created the universe has to be outside of the universe.

It will be helpful to remember next time you’re asked where God came from, that the person (whether an atheist, a skeptic, or just someone sincerely curious) … is assuming a limited God.

Which should be a perfect segue to share how the personal relationship you have with Jesus has changed everything for you in your life, as well as for your eternal future.

The Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” Our God is certainly not limited by man’s opinions surrounding what He can or cannot do.

Rest assured that if you choose to put your faith and trust in Jesus, that He will literally be with you through all the ups-and-downs that this life here and now is sure to present you with.
