Eternal

I was thinking the other day that the reason human beings always have and still build themselves images of a god, whether graven or in the form of possessions, is so that they have something they understand. Human beings have a hard time trying to mentally grasp a god that is eternal—one that always existed. It makes no sense to the limited human mind so they build things and make them gods that they can understand and control.  How could something always be, always have existed, with no beginning and no end? Human beings think in terms of the finite, the definite, everything begins and everything ends. To humans time is everything and it goes against all humans know and understand to think that God has always existed and always will exist. It is hard not to wonder where God came from or when He began, but we have to take on faith from what the Bible teaches that God is and always was and always will be.
