Kids ask...How did God create Himself?

Question from a second grader

That’s an important question! Let’s look together at something the Bible says about God: “You are always the same. Years cannot change you” (Psalms 102:27, Contemporary English Version).

To always be “the same” means that God never changes—ever. There are other things like that, too. The number one, for example, never changes. The reason why it doesn’t is because it’s an idea and is not material. It always has existed! That means it never had a creation date, a beginning. And it doesn’t have an ending, either.

God is not made of matter. God is divine Spirit. Spirit is our source and gives us strength and joy. Like the number one, Spirit never had a creation date. God, Spirit, just is.
