Describe Him: Beginning
Perhaps one of the unique characteristic of the Godhead is that He always WAS. At the beginning of time, He existed. At the end of time, He will exist. Today, He exists. God had no beginning and He will have no end.
Genesis 1:1—”In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” When time, history, creation began, God was there. He is the One who created it all.
John 1:1-2—”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God." Again…the beginning. Verse 14 interprets “The Word” for us: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." Christ, the Word, was at the beginning, with God.” Just think: where would we be if Christ had not been made flesh and dwelt among man?
1 John 1:1-2—”That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested unto us.) This verse ties together Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, with John 1:1-2 "God made flesh, walking among mankind, who is now the One declared to be the bearer of eternal life, with such truths being declared to result in fellowship and joy for the believer: “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.” (1 John 1:3-4)
Rejoice, for “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” (Revelation 1:8)
