“I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God.” Revelation 1:8

It is God who made the original design, and it is God who will bring it to completion. How can we thank him enough that he is the Alpha, the initiator of all things? “in the beginning God. . .” When the heavens and the earth were created, it was God who purposed it all. All things had their origin in him.

But at the same time he is the Omega. Man can and will fail: he may have good intentions and make fine promises, but always they will lack fulfillment. God. however, never gives up. He will never let any part of his purpose for mankind go unfulfilled. Do you doubt that? If the day should come when you feel that his work cannot be successful, listen to him again as he affirms, “I am the Alpha and the Omega.”
