God always lived

Jesus said, ‘In very truth I tell you, before Abraham was born, I am.’ (John 8:58 NEB'70)

———————

The expression “I am,” gives the idea of an existence which had no beginning, and will have no end.

Such is God's existence. He is the first and the last. He always lived.

We, in our finite minds, can never grasp this. However, we can rejoice in the thought that before we were even born God already existed.

Among other things, this would mean that no plans could be formed against us, before He had arranged everything concerning us!

“Known to God are all His works since the beginning of the world.” (Acts 15:18)
