JESUS IS THE ETERNAL GOD

 JESUS IS THE ETERNAL GOD

TEXT: “but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith, to God alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.”  Romans 16:26-27

Jesus Christ is not just God --- He is the eternal God. As the Nicene Creed states He is”very God of very God.” Let’s take a moment and look at His eternality. He is the eternal God. That means simply the absence of beginning, end and temporal succession in God. Eternity, by definition, has no beginning and has no end. God’s eternity is as endless as it is boundless.

If He has no beginning, He certainly has no end. (Revelation 4:9-10). Because He has no needs, He cannot pass out of existence due to a lack of anything. With Him, there is no present, past and future because He sees all things at once. He doesn't wear an Apple or Rolex wrist watch because He is a non-time dimensional God. He transcends time as we know it. 

He does not ever become something He was not before.

He was perfect before all the ages and will be perfect for all ages to come.

He is self-existent.

He is self sufficient.

He has no needs of any kind!

He is what he always was and He will be what He will always is.

He inhabits billions of years in a moment!

The only thing you can do with a God like that is to bow down before Him and acknowledge Him as the eternal God!
