To be omnipresent means to be causally active in every portion of the created universe. Rather, God, who is an unembodied Mind, knows what is happening and is active everywhere in the universe, as its creator and sustainer. It isn’t as though God is like a physical gas spread throughout the universe. God is an immaterial and spiritual being (Jn. ![]() If God is everywhere, doesn’t that mean that he is in everything? How is this different from pantheism? 15:3) The eyes of the Lord are in every place, watching the evil and the good. 23:4) “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me.” 28:20b) “ I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Acts 17:24 28a) “The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands… 28for in Him we live and move and exist.” (1 Kings 8:27) “Will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!” “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the LORD. 23:23-24) “Am I a God who is near,” declares the LORD, “And not a God far off? 24 Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?” declares the LORD. 9 If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, 10 even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. 139:7-10) Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. ![]() Consider several passages on the omnipresence of God: He isn’t localized anywhere rather, he is present everywhere. ![]() We shouldn’t think that God is in anything nor is he “up there” in the sky somewhere. This word comes from “omni” meaning “all” and “presence” meaning “being present.” This means that God is causally active and aware of every part of reality.
