THE SELF EXISTENCE OF GOD

One of the things that separates God from man is His self existence, His aseity. God is eternally self existent. Nobody made God. God didn’t come from anywhere. He simply always was, is and will be. In the beginning God was present. God’s rule over the cosmos is everlasting.

Therefore, the universe owes its existence to the infinite God.

God created the universe not by necessity but for His own glory. 

Theologian Arthur Pink puts it this way:

“God was under no constraint to create. He was under no obligation to create. He did not have to create. There was no necessity to create. That He chose to do so was purely a sovereign act on His part caused by nothing outside of Himself and determined by His own mere good pleasure.”

God is the source of all life and we were created to live in fellowship with Him. As Augustine once said, “our hearts are restless until they find rest in God.” The greater our understanding of God, the more our own hearts become filled with contentment and satisfaction in Him. We understand that there is not a need in our lives that He cannot supply.

Read Genesis 1:1; Psalm 93:2; Acts 17:28-32; Romans 11:36

Why did God create you? Simple! Because He wanted to! 

Think about that for a minute. 

No other reason.

The Doxology- like you’ve never heard it before.
