Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.” If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!Īnd dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Or where shall I flee from your presence? God’s Immensity and Omnipresence As Seen in Scripture Which is why we must share the gospel and never stop praying for our loved ones to believe the gospel while there’s still time!) We’ll shed our bodies-our coats of flesh-at death and step into eternity as spiritual beings because our body dies, but our spirit (our soul) lives forever. When our bodies die, however, we’ll see Him face to face. We don’t have to physically come into His presence. Since God’s presence is spiritual in nature, there’s no distance between God and us. In other words, we use anthropomorphic language. We describe God in ways we can understand. Since we can’t relate to being a spirit, but are intimately acquainted with physical bodies, we describe God’s being and actions in human terms. He doesn’t occupy physical space.īy the way, even though we sing about God having the whole world in His hands, God doesn’t have hands. God, on the other hand, is a spirit (John 4:24). We have a physical presence that takes up space-a fact we become keenly aware of in elevators and subways. Omni means “all,” thus, to say that God is omnipresent is to say He is “all present.”
