Was There Anyone Before God?

Probably one of the most puzzling question that a man can think of, is about the mystery of God's existence. If God exist where did he sprung up? Upon realizing this thought-provoking question, many people were confounded and hopeless to arrived in a firm conclusion. Even forsaking their belief and turned away from their faith. Will this thought be enough for us to leave our first love and live our life like it was not bound to eternity? Let us find the answer to this question from the Word of God itself.


1) The Bible taught us that God created all things from the beginning.

The Bible says:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
-Genesis 1:1

So before the heavens and the earth were formed, He already existed. God became the grand designer and Creator of the universe.


2) All things were made by Him. Everything that our eyes can see and even those invisible to our naked eyes are His creation.

The Bible says:
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. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
-John 1:1-3


3) God created all things together with the Word.

The Bible says:
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. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
-John 1:1-3

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.
-John 1:14

We have determined from these verses that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among men. He was the same person that in the book of Genesis mentioned when God made man after His own image.

The Bible says:
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
-Genesis 1:26-27

Pay attention to the word 'OUR', which indicated that God was with someone from the very beginning. He was the Word as mentioned in John 1:1. Who was the Word anyway?

The Bible says:
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. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
-John 1:14-18

The Word who confessed Himself as the only begotten of the Father, therefore was our Lord Jesus Christ. So from eternity the Son of God was there. From before He was conceived by His earthly mother, He was already with the Father in heaven.

The Bible says:
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
-John 3:13

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

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
-Revelation 22:13


4) Moses himself from the book of Psalms revealed that God existed 'from everlasting to everlasting'.

The Bible says:
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
-Psalms 90:1-2


With all these verses we can conclude that God was the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the Alpha and Omega. There were no other before Him and without Him there was not any thing made that existed. From everlasting He was God and to everlasting He rule as our God.
