Who created God?

Great question!

From the Judeo-Christian perspective, the answer is that God was not created; He is eternal. The Bible supports this in many places, but we will just look at two.

Genesis begins with the phrase "In the beginning, God." Before the beginning of time, God was. In fact, God's personal name, which he reveals to Moses in Exodus 3:14 and is frequently translated "I AM" reveals, among other things, His eternality. God is essentially saying that," I am always existing."

Famous author C.S. Lewis offers an interesting way of looking at the eternal nature of God. He says that if you take a piece of paper and draw a line on it to represent time, God is the paper. Kinda crazy, right? Let's unpack this a bit.

What the idea of God's eternal existence means is that God always exists. Because God is the paper in Lewis' model, He experiences all of time at the same time. God is present with you and me here in the 21st century, and at the same time for Him, He is present with Moses in the burning bush. God always is.

There are some profound implications of that last statement. Instead of laying them out, I offer that you find a quiet space and ask God what it means for Him to always be. He is always present; we just need to seek and listen.
