Last time I said that God is eternal. He never had a beginning and will never have an end. It’s difficult for us to grasp this, but before anything else existed, God was there. And he will always exist. But even in talking about God being eternal, we use references to time because we don’t have any other frame of reference that we can relate to. We talk about eternity past and eternity future. But the reality is that God is outside of time. He doesn’t experience events in succession like you. You’ve had events that happened in your past, you have the events of your life today, and you’ll have more events happen tomorrow and into the future. For God, everything is the present and he experiences it all at once.
