Bible Question: I firmly believe in the existance of a Creator (God), but I am having trouble coming to conclusions about who created God/where God is from. I suppose He Is, but that is not satisfying to me. What is the answer Im looking for? |
Bible Answer: That is THE question. God was not created, He is eternal: "In the beginning God... "Beginning" means precisely that. He also made everything that is, "...created..." Not only time itself, but also space and matter, "...the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1.10) How can you come to know God? Find out about Jesus, His Son. In the Gospel of John, an amazing Bible book, really, John (one of Jesus' disciples) writes: "No one has seen God at any time; but the only begotten God," (eg. Jesus), "He has explained Him." (John 1:18) God gave us Jesus, His Son. Why did He do that? Look at the state of us. What in heaven or on earth possessed Him to send His most precious thing down to a hideous and murderous crew like us? When I was in a tight spot I started talking to God, something I'd never done in my life. Soon after, I met people who told me about Jesus. And here you are. You sound on the verge of something incredibly great. Colin |
