"This letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives. This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life [now]...which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began" (Ti. 1.1,2 NLT, HSCB). God existed before time and space.
