“The First...and the Last”

In the book of Revelation, found in the Holy Bible, John records these powerful words of Jesus: I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. (Revelation 22:13)
Just think, the one, true and living God has always existed. There has never been a time when He did not exist and there never will be a time when He will cease to exist. You see, unlike us, God had no beginning. He is the beginning. Moses informed us that God was the Beginning when he wrote, “In the beginning God...” (Genesis 1:1). And unlike us, God will have no end. After all, He is the end.

Throughout the pages of the Holy Bible we are told that God is eternal. He is forever and forever. He was not created because He has always existed. He will never die because He alone is the Omega...the Last...the End!

Now, allow the truth of these precious promises to encourage you today. If you know God's Son, Jesus Christ, personally as your Lord and Savior, then you and I serve a God who alone is eternal. The God of history, the One who spoke and it was so, is eternal. He is the First and the Last! So, rejoice and take courage today in our Eternal God!

Now with this truth comes the realization that people today need to hear about Eternal God. Those who are dying need to know about the One who will never die. Those who are weak need the strength of Eternal God. Those who are hopeless need to find lasting hope that only comes through knowing Eternal God. Those who are searching for meaning to life need to meet Eternal God. And those who are dying in their sin need to be introduced to Eternal God, the Lover of their souls! So let's be aware of the people around us and as God gives us opportunities, let’s introduce them to Eternal God.
