A difficult question that people sometimes struggle with is this: What created God? If everything has a beginning or creator, then how did God come into existence? Who created Him?
I think the most difficult part of this question is the fact that it is somewhat un-logical. God created everything, and He is the only thing that was not created by something. Before the universe ever came to be, there was God. Asking what created God, is kind of like asking something like, “Why is that red car green?” Or “What color is an inch?” These questions make no sense because they are illogical. They are asking something that doesn’t make any sense. If the car is red, it isn’t green. And measurements don’t have colors. The same is true because God wasn’t ever created.
It all comes down to this simple fact: The universe as we know it didn’t always exist. God created the universe, and He created it using Matter & Energy. He created it within the context of time. So time, energy, matter, and everything else is a created thing. Every single atom, molecule, and particle was created by God.
So God was never created, and He is not bound by these constraints of time, matter, energy, or anything else. God simply –IS. He always has been, and always will be. He wasn’t created, nor will he ever -not- exist. That is pretty powerful stuff, and mind boggling-huh? But this also raises another interesting question:
So What is God made of?
Since all matter, time, and energy had a beginning, we can probably make the assumption that God is not made of Matter. He simply IS. The Bible describes God as a spirit. Of course, God controls all matter, and He can take the form of matter (as He has done in the past), and manipulate it in any way He wants. However, God is not bound by matter, time, or space-like we humans & everything else in the universe is. The Bible also gives God characteristics, emotions, feelings, thoughts, and more.
We don’t know exactly what God is made of, or what He looks like. Maybe someday we will find the answers to these tough questions.
