Self-Existing, Eternal God

Can you imagine what it was like before the universe was created? It’s difficult for our minds to fathom, but the Bible states that God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit existed before the universe (John 1:1; Genesis 1:2). 

God has always been. He is self-existent and eternal. There has never been a time when He didn’t exist. God references this amazing quality about Himself when He appeared to Moses in a  blazing fire from the midst of a bush. Exodus 3:14 records God’s words to Moses. “I AM WHO I AM…Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” 

“I AM WHO I AM” and “I AM” come from the word “Yahweh” or “YHWH” in Hebrew. “Yahweh” describes God’s self-existing, self-sustaining, and eternal nature. 

God is not only the sustainer of His life, He is the creator and sustainer of all life. Nothing exists apart from Him. Colossians 1:16 explains, “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.” 

Acts 17:28 says “we live, move, and exist in Him.”

Yahweh not only gives us physical life, He gives us spiritual, eternal life through Jesus. If you don’t already have a relationship with the self-existing creator and sustainer of all life, call on Him today. 

YAHWEH, self-existing Creator and sustainer of life, I am in awe of You. Thank You for not only giving me physical life, but eternal spiritual life through Jesus. I love You.
