The Being of God
Divine Existence
Theology Proper · 6 verses
God's being is utterly necessary, eternal, and independent of all creation. He alone possesses existence in and of Himself, requiring no cause or sustainer beyond His own infinite nature. God's existence is the foundation of all reality and the first truth upon which all knowledge rests.
