GOD IS TIMELESS

One of the special attributes of God is being eternal. God does not have a beginning and an end. The book of Psalms says - “Before you created the hills or brought the world into being you were eternally God, and will be God forever." (Psalms 90:2) 

God is the Alpha and the Omega. 

Abraham confirmed this attribute of God - "And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God" (Genesis 21:33) 

God declared this to Isaiah, "I am the high and holy God, who lives forever" (Isaiah 57:15). 

God has always existed and will never expire or end. God is the only being who is immortal. As it is written, 'He alone is immortal, he lives in the light that no one can approach' (1 Timothy 6:16). God will be with us forever. This means that as Christians we should fully trust him for He has seen what has happened and what will happen. We should praise and honor him for He is the one true immortal God.

1 Timothy 1:17 says, "Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen." 

Only God is immortal. 

We may exercise and eat the right food but it will not make us live forever. We may undergo cosmetic surgery so we can look younger but we still grow old and die. Man cannot gain immortality by his own strength or capability. God is the only being who can grant immortality. The immortality of man's soul is given by God alone. Man needs to believe and follow Jesus to receive this gift. As Jesus said, "that whoever believes in Him will NOT perish but will have eternal life" (John 3:16).

God wants us to join Him in His kingdom for eternity. He loves us and wants us to spend a lifetime with Him in heaven. Let us learn to trust God, believe in His ways and follow Him in all areas of our life.

Matthew 28:20 .... And I will be with you always to the end of the age.
