Lesson 1: The Kingdom of God Before Creation

Jim Grushon

This lesson examines the eternal nature and authority of God prior to the creation of the world. Scripture reveals that God has always existed, reigning over both the spiritual and physical realms. The patriarchs lived by faith in this unseen reality, the prophets were given visions of God’s throne, and the New Testament writers affirmed His everlasting rule. From eternity to eternity, God possesses all authority, a truth Jesus echoed when He declared, “All authority has been given to Me.” Understanding God’s eternal reign helps us grasp the foundation of His kingdom and strengthens our hope in the One who rules over all.
