“Who created God? Where did God come from?”
- A Curious Kid
Dear Curious Kid,
What a great question! The Bible tells us that God has always been around. That means that no one created God, since God always existed since forever! It’s so hard to think of something that has always been there, since we see so much change. We see new babies and baby animals and new plants grow. We make art and crafts and other things with our hands. But no one made God.
The Bible tells us this, but it also makes sense, if you think about it. If someone or something made God, that would make that other person or thing better than or smarter than or first before God. But nothing and no one is better than or smarter than or first before God. We say that God is good (the best!) and God knows everything and God is first. We can say those things because God has always been around.
The best part is that God has always been around and God will always be around. No matter how long we live or where we travel to, God will be with us.
