About this episode

This episode explores the concept of God's eternality and its implications for understanding time and our lives.

Have you ever stopped to wonder, how old is God? It’s the kind of deep, unanswerable question a child might ask on a car ride; yet the theological answer is far more mind-stretching than just saying "a million" or "very old". In Part 3 of our series on the Attributes of God, we dive down the fascinating rabbit hole of God's eternality (His relationship with time). While our finite lives are defined by a continuous succession of moments; growing, changing, and accumulating years; God does not mark time this way. He doesn't get gray hairs, He doesn't develop wrinkles, and He is not one day older today than He was yesterday. God is completely time-free. To God, there is no past, present, or future. He comprehends the entire flow of time all at once in a single, indivisible, eternal present. But this isn't just an abstract philosophical puzzle. Discover how God's eternality is directly tied to His capacity to save us, why it serves as a powerful antidote to our daily time-bound anxieties, and how King Solomon’s reminder that God has "put eternity into man’s heart" gives our short, earthly lives profound purpose and joy.
