The Omni-Presence of God
The Omni-Presence of God
based on
A Bible Study from the Holmann Bible Dictionary
by John W. Eddins, Jr. and J. Terry Young
Atheists try to make themselves believe
that God does not exist, but most human experience affirms a sense that
God somehow does exist.
Rom 1:17-23 (TLB)
This Good News tells us that God makes
us ready for heaven--
makes us right in God's sight--
when we put our faith and trust in Christ
to save us.
This is accomplished from start to finish
by faith.
As the Scripture says it,
"The man who finds life will find it through
trusting God."
{18} But God shows his anger from heaven
against all sinful, evil men
who push away the truth from themselves.
{19} For the truth about God is known
to them instinctively;
God has put this knowledge in their hearts.
{20} Since earliest times men have
seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known of his existence
and great eternal power.
So they will have no excuse (when they
stand before God at Judgment Day).
{21} Yes, they knew about him all right,
but they wouldn't admit it or worship
him or even thank him for all his daily care. And after awhile they began
to think up silly ideas of what God was like
and what he wanted them to do.
The result was that their foolish minds
became dark and confused
. {22} Claiming themselves to be wise
without God,
they became utter fools instead.
{23} And then, instead of worshiping the
glorious, ever-living God,
they took wood and stone and made idols
for themselves,
carving them to look like mere birds and
animals and snakes and puny men.
In some mysterious way God is immanent,
that is, He is present in the day-to-day human existence, and He desires
to enter into a personal relationship with each person whom He has created.
Acts 17:24-28 (KJV)
God that made the world and all things
therein,
seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth,
dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
{25} Neither is worshipped with men's
hands,
as though he needed any thing,
seeing he giveth to all life, and breath,
and all things;
{26} And hath made of one blood all nations
of men
for to dwell on all the face of the earth,
and hath determined the times before appointed,
and the bounds of their habitation;
{27} That they should seek the Lord,
if haply they might feel after him, and
find him,
though he be not far from every one of
us:
{28} For in him we live, and move, and
have our being;
as certain also of your own poets have
said,
For we are also his offspring.
Isa 41:9-10 (KJV)
Thou whom I have taken from the
ends of the earth,
and called thee from the chief men
thereof, and said unto thee,
Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee,
and not cast thee away.
{10} Fear thou not; for I am with
thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help
thee; yea,
I will uphold thee with the right hand
of my righteousness.
Mat 28:18-20 (KJV)
And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven
and in earth.
{19} Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: {20} Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen.
