OUR READERS ASK . . .Who Made God?

Picture a father talking with his seven-year-old son.  He says,  "Long, long ago, God made the earth and everything in it, and he made the sun, the moon, and the stars."  The boy thinks about this for a few moments and then asks,  "Daddy who made God?" 

"Nobody made God," the father replies.  "He has always existed." That simple statement satisfies the child for now.  As he grows older, however, the question continues to intrigue him.  He finds it hard to comprehend how anyone could be without  a beginning.  Why, even the universe had a beginning.  'Where did God come from?' He wonders. 

How does the Bible answer?  Essentially in much the same way  as did the father in our example.   Moses wrote:  "O Jehovah,  . . .before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the productive land, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God." (Psalm 90:1, 2)  Likewise, the prophet Isaiah exclaimed: "Do you not know?  Have you not heard?  Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, is a God for all eternity"! -Jude 25.
