“The question, “Is God a necessary being?” can be reformulated to read: Is the Being a necessary being? If there is a Being and we know there is (the world), then it must be necessary; otherwise, it would not exist. Not only is the Being necessary, but it is also indestructible and eternal. If the Absolute Being were only necessary and not indestructible and eternal, it would not exist because necessity would not create it. If there is nothing, there is only nothing. In nothingness, there is no necessity out of which anything may come into the Being. If the Being is necessary, this necessity is always present as the Being itself.” — Dejan Stojanovic
