God Alone (Part One)

     This week at God Quest we learned that knowing God is the most important thing we can ever do!  We learned that God is eternal.  Everything that we see and everything that we know about but can't see had a beginning, except for God.  Before anything was, God existed as He does now and He will exist forever.

     Before the beginning there was no universe, no earth, no angels, no devil, no plants, no animals and no people.  All these things had a beginning.  However, there never was a time when God did not exist.  God did not have a beginning.  He was not created.  He has always been alive.  He has always been and will always be the same.  There never will be a time when God does not exist. God can never die.

      We also learned that God is a Trinity.  Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...".  The word "Trinity" is used to describe the three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, who are the one Eternal God.  Hard to understand for an adult never-mind for children.  We admitted to that fact in the lesson.  One of the children said we will understand when we get to heaven.

       Lastly we learned that because God existed before all things, we know that He didn't/doesn't need anything.  He didn't need the earth nor anything on it. We read in Psalm 90:2 (NCV) Before the mountains were born and before you created the earth and the world, you are God. You have always been, and you will always be. God is completely independent of everything and everyone. He is so much greater than we can possibly imagine.  We are so blessed to have the Bible to help us know Him and teach about Him to the children.
