Bible Verses About the Eternity of God
Have you ever paused to consider what it means for God to be eternal? It’s a concept that stretches our human minds, often accustomed as we are to the idea of beginnings and endings. Everything around us has a lifespan: people, animals, trees, even the mountains and seas change over vast periods of time. Yet, the Bible consistently reveals a God who is utterly different from creation in this fundamental way. His eternity isn’t just a long stretch of time; it means He exists outside of time as we experience it. He had no beginning, and He will have no end. This profound truth about God’s nature is a cornerstone of our faith, offering immense comfort and stability in a world that is constantly shifting. Understanding God's eternity helps us grasp His unchanging character, His faithfulness across generations, and the boundless scope of His plans.
