Genesis 1:1 – “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Many Christians have neglected the power of the first ten words in the Bible which says "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." We simply use or associate these words as the primary reference to the theoretical and theological explanation of creation (creationism) to compete with the theory of evolution. We have a strong belief that these statements are just for mere reference to support our faith in creationism.
These words indeed bear the very nature of our God that He exists prior to his creation and that clearly signified in these words of the Bible. It characterised the omnipresent and transcendent nature of our God and the clear authorship of the created object which bears the concept called trilogy of trilogy. The trilogy of trilogy refers to the object measured in time, space, and matters which interrelated but cannot stand on its own. Time refers to past, present, future. Space refers to length, width, and height. Matters or content refers to solid, liquid, and gas. Every objects bears this vivid measurement which clearly imparted by its author, our God. "In the beginning" - refers to time, "God created the heavens" - refers to space, "and the earth" - refers to matter.
An object always has the time, space, and matter. If anyone or anything that can separate and stand without the others is indeed the only divine being, whom I believe is our God alone. We cannot measure God's existence, His Glory, and His Love. These are the characters He bears that only He can stand it separately. No one ever knows the time before the beginning, the glory of heavens and love of God to people He created here on earth. With this, we are confident to answer the question of where God came from. As this kind of question is subjective and is not even allowed to ask to our Creator.
Like us who can create things such as computers, we imparted a part of us and let it run by itself. The computer is limited with its designed function and purpose. We do not participate anymore when it runs, unless it is in trouble, we help to fix it. But if we ask the computer where your creator came from? Unless the creator stored such information to it, it will not be answered and probably bug down when it tried so hard to find the answer. However, it can only say proudly, I am created in His image and that is enough from me.
Do not get yourself stuck in this question; our Author has its own rights not to reveal all the mysteries He holds. God existed, exist, and will exist in the manner He wants and no creations are allowed to question it unless He himself revealed it. In John 3:8, Jesus revealed this wisdom too "The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
God bless you all!
