Our Eternal Creator – God’s Timelessness

The Eternal Creator: God’s Timelessness

In the beginning, before time and space as we know it, there was God—Eternal, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent. He was not bound by the constraints of time or the physical universe. In His infinite wisdom and love, God decided to create a world, a canvas where His glory and majesty could be displayed.

With a word, He called forth light, piercing the primordial darkness. The heavens and the earth were formed, each element meticulously crafted by His hand. The stars were scattered across the sky like diamonds, the seas were filled with life, and the land burst forth with vegetation. Each creation reflected a part of His nature—His creativity, power, and attention to detail.

Among His creations, humans were unique, fashioned in His image and likeness. They were given dominion over the earth, entrusted with its care and stewardship. God walked with them in the cool of the day, sharing a relationship that was intimate and profound.

Christianity: Yesterday and Today

Christianity Yesterday -In the early days of Christianity, believers gathered in small, intimate groups, often in secret due to persecution. They shared their faith through oral traditions and letters, focusing on the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. The early church was marked by a strong sense of community, mutual support, and a deep commitment to living out the teachings of Christ.

Christianity Today- Today, Christianity is a global faith with a diverse range of practices and expressions. Churches vary from small congregations to large megachurches. Modern technology allows for the spread of the Gospel through digital means, reaching people across the world instantaneously. However, the core of Christianity remains unchanged faith in Jesus Christ and the call to live out His teachings.
