Well the classical intuition is that God preceded time. In fact, infinite time in the past doesn't make sense. If God was to earn and "ascend" to divinity, he would have to change, which would require time. Also, one decision is hardly of any value.
Everyone originally wants to be good, but we are faced with challenges. We have to be tested by justice, will act according to our self interest. There has to be desires that go against the greater nobler desire.
But it's not like God for example is tested if he would be faithful to a wife or husband. Or that he has to struggle to learn. Or that he has to pefer helping others to helping himself.
His decision is rather simple and no brainer. And because he would know that peace lies in being good, if we assume he has knowledge of good, then it would be a no brain decision without any struggle.
That has significantly less value then the praise many humans go through.
Therefore it seems God in the sense of ultimately great cannot be earned in reality nor can have always been.
