“The Eternality of God”
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You return man to dust
and say, “Return, O children of man!”
4 For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
1. God has no beginning and no end.
1. Dios no tiene principio ni fin.
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor?”
14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
2. God’s Character never changes.
2. El carácter de Dios nunca cambia.
20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
6 “For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.
3. God sees time differently than we do.
3. Dios ve el tiempo de manera diferente a nosotros.
4 For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
4. The Eternal God is our Refuge.
4. El Dios eterno es nuestro refugio.
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
in all generations.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
2 I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
5. The Eternal God offers Eternal Life.
5. El Dios eterno ofrece vida eterna.
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
3 You return man to dust
and say, “Return, O children of man!”
10 The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”
8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
10 For
“Whoever desires to love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from speaking deceit;
11 let him turn away from evil and do good;
let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
31 but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
