All contingent beings need a cause. For a contingent being is something that is but could not be. But since it has the possibility not to to exist, then it does not account for its own existence. That is, in itself there is no basis explaining why it exists rather than does not exist. It literally has nothing (non-being) to ground it. But non-being cannot ground or cause anything (5). Only something can produce spmething.
Therefore, this Necessary Being is personal, rational and moral in a necessary way, not in a contingent way.
