We are working through the attributes of God, and this week we come to God's eternity. God is "from everlasting to everlasting." He stands above time, with no beginning and no end. Compared to God's eternity, we realize how temporary we are, and how all the things we put our hopes in will fade. When we understand that God is eternal, we will treat the past, the present, and the future differently, because Christ holds all of our time in his hands in love.

Application Questions: 

1. Have you ever thought about God's eternity? How might it change your perspective on things in your life now? 

2. Why does the psalmist focus so much on the brevity of life? Do you resonate with what he is saying? 

3. How have you put your hope in temporary things? 

4. How is the gospel richer and more beautiful knowing that Christ is eternal yet stepped into time for us?
