This is a series on the attributes of God.
The Omnipresence of God Part 3: New Testament
Selected Scriptures
Purpose: In this session we shall look to the New Testament and what it teaches concerning God’s omnipresence so that we would draw implications for our lives.
- General affirmation on God’s omnipresence
- The omnipresence of the members of the Trinity
- The omnipresence of God and the Great Commission
- Distinction between general and moral presence
Reminder of the definition of the omniscience of God:
- Wayne Grudem: “God does not have size or spatial dimension and is present at every point of space with his whole being, yet God acts differently in different places.”[1]
- John Feinberg: “God’s omnipresence, on the other hand, signifies that God is present in the totality of his being at each point in space.”[2]
- John Frame: “Spatial omnipresence cannot mean that God is a physical substance spread through the material universe. What it means, rather is that God’s power, knowledge and ability to act in the finite world are universal.”[3]
What does the Bible in the New Testament have to say in further clarifying God’s presence and omnipresence?
