The eternality of Christ is a fundamental concept in Christian theology, emphasizing that Jesus Christ has existed forever, without beginning or end. According to the Bible, Christ's eternality is evident in passages such as Micah 5:2, which states that the Messiah's "goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity," and Hebrews 13:8, which affirms that Jesus Christ is "the same yesterday and today and forever."
