Who Created God?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions in theology, and it touches on the very nature of existence itself. The Bible presents God as eternal and self-existent, meaning He has no beginning and no end. Unlike everything else in creation, God was not caused or brought into being by something else.
The question itself assumes that everything must have a creator, but this leads to an infinite regress — if God needed a creator, that creator would need a creator, and so on forever. Scripture resolves this by presenting God as the uncaused first cause, the one being who exists necessarily rather than contingently.
In Exodus 3:14, when Moses asks God for His name, God responds with "I AM THAT I AM," declaring His self-existence. He simply is. Psalm 90:2 affirms that before the mountains were formed or the earth created, God already existed from everlasting to everlasting. This concept stretches our finite minds, but it points to a God who transcends the limitations of time and space that govern our experience.
