#Answer ፡ God is Creator of ALL THINGS and THE SOURCE OF ALL VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE THINGS, “From Him everything comes, by Him everything exists, and in Him everything ends!” (Rom. 11:36). God is not only the Origin and the author of ALL LIFE but He is also LIFE, “I am life, In him was life, I am the life, For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, John 14:6 , John 1:4 , John 5:26, John 11:25, 1John 1:2” Even though He possesses all the power in the universe, He is equipped whit complete power as owner the same time God is Love – 1 John 4:8, God is spirit John 4:24 He is OUR SPIRTUAL FATHER he is the Father of spirits.
Heb 12:9, God is invisible to our natural senses a faculty by which the human body perceives an external stimulus; one of the faculties of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch, (Colossians 1:15; 1 Timothy 1:17), but He is nevertheless a living super power, active in our present lives on the earth, There are many evidential such statements about God in the Bible, He is the creator of all “16 For by Him all things [ta panta, “the all”] were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities–all things [ta panta, “the all”] have been created by Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Colossians 1:16-20.”
God is the Creator of every human being that live in the planet we all shear; therefore He is the Father of each one and they are all His children; Acts 17:28 .. For we all are also his offspring [seeds, generation, children; a descendant .” Luke 3:38 Adam which was the son of God.” and Christ died for everyone, and is declared to the “the propitiation not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2).
Jesus Christ is all life that life is the light of all men who come to this world, John 1:4 You need to know you are part of that divine light; you are part of the original brightness of his glory now, the point or place where your origin begins in the spirit realm is in Jesus Christ,[created #in(#within) Christ Jesus ]Eph 2:10 you have no other commencement or beginning, grasp the truth your start point, origination, genesis is #in Jesus Christ, When you learn a spiritual truth DON’T E-V-E-R LET IT GO. JMT John 8:32 and you will come to know the Truth (Reality) by intimate experience, and the Truth (Reality) will liberate and make (set) you free!” Our Father wants us to experience this natural dimension and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: Acts 17:26
“J. Preston Eby ones write this marvels word Quote: “[ THE RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS] In the beginning – GOD! In the beginning of what? Not in the beginning of God, certainly, but in the beginning of His creation of all things, in the beginning of time, in the beginning of the orderly procession of the divinely destined ages. In the beginning stands God, omnipotent and omniscient, creating, sustaining and guiding all things and all people and all the ages of time according to the purpose of His own will. No purpose ordained by God from the beginning can possibly go astray or be hindered by the efforts of devil or man. Oh, for the hour when all creation will grasp the beautiful message, “From Him everything comes, by Him everything exists, and in Him everything ends!” (Rom. 11:36).
If God be the Creator of ALL THINGS, then it must of necessity follow that GOD IS THE SOURCE OF ALL THINGS. We read the passage quoted above from the Diaglott. “Because OUT of HIM, and THROUGH HIM, and FOR HIM are ALL THINGS, to Him be the glory for the ages. Amen.” All things are out of God, all things are through Him, all things are for Him, and all things are unto Him, ending in Him. The clearest possible rendering is given by Goodspeed, “For from Him everything comes; through Him everything exists; and in Him everything ends! Glory to Him forever! Amen.” The Amplified Bible also expresses it beautifully, “For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. For all things originate with Him and come from Him, all things live through Him, and all things center in and tend to consummate and end in Him. To Him he glory forever! Amen – so be it.” Unquote
The Bible teaches us that in all objective reality, He is Jehovah Elohim በራሱ ህላዌ ያለው self existed, from all eternity, there has been and always will be only one God, is completely unconditionally loving Father, completely just, completely pure and holy, completely full of merciful, and that He desires all the best for us. God was never created, “Ps 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” Why would anyone ever without proof say that God was created? I don’t mean to degrading, but the very nature of question is absurd wildly unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate. God is the Originator and causer of all things–no one originates the very Originator. God didn’t magically “come” from “anywhere.” God IS. “In the beginning GOD[elohiym]….” (Gen. 1:1). All the Scripture inspired by God do not attempt to explain an origin for Originator God, It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, As Lord Jesus say “If I have told you earthly [natural] things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly [spiritual] things?” it is unspeakable in natural words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. “Eccl 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” Man came from “God,” but God didn’t. There are NO other real “gods,” only the figments of man’s imagination they all a thing that someone believes to be real but that exists only in their imagination
“3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: 7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. 8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. Ps 115:3”

But, what is clear is that God is alive Mal 3:6 For I am the Lord[Yhovah self-Existent or Eternal], I change not,” ፡Heb 13፡8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” concerned about all of us, he continuously quickened our faith for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from out of faith, into faith, given assurance of His wonderful Devine love, faithful care his love surrounded gracious presence, he has provided himself that the Word was God And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us the invisible become visible Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us our Jesus[salvation] as a sacrifice for our sins, because he loves all of us because he is our heavenly or spiritual Father, full of merciful, and gracious in all things. And, of course, the best representation of God is found in Lord Jesus (Heb. 1:3).

GOD IS LOVE! 1 John 4:8 [God himself is LOVE, in his Divine character manifestation his love is seen as unconditional love toward all man this love Is known as affection without any limitations, or love without conditions, The source of all love is God himself we even got it from him, Love of God can define either the we hear from him and it become our own and that love for God or love by God in the enchant language Greek term agape is applied to source himself and to us both to the love that human beings have for God and to the love that God has for man reviled in Christ] John 3:16 For God so loved[agapao ag-ap-ah’-o unconditional divine love] the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.

The good news is that the ‘gospel’ really is GOOD NEWS, and there is no bad news! The word ‘gospel’ (‘evangel’ from the Greek) is a compound word (‘eu’ – good, and ‘angelion’ – message).
God loves you unconditionally. He loved you before he created the world (Ephesians 1:3-14 ). It was God who acted on your behalf to reconcile you to Himself while you were still His enemy (Romans 5:8-11 ).

You can have peace with God right now (Romans 5:1 ).
You can have an abundant, overflowing life right now (John 10:10 ).
