What Does It Mean That God is Omnipresent? Why is That Important?
What do we get wrong when we talk about God’s omnipresence? 🤔
Is God everywhere? 🌎
If we say God exists in all things, we risk drifting into paganism. ⚠️
It’s true that there’s no place He cannot be, but that doesn’t mean God reveals himself in all places. ✨
If God is in the trees 🌳, the sunset 🌅, and the mountains 🏔️, the one place you're never going to see God is on the cross. ✝️
The Bible never says God is everywhere.
Psalm 139 says, “If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!” 🙌
What’s awesome is not just that God can be anywhere, but that He would go anywhere FOR YOU. 🎯
Wherever you happen to be, that’s where God wants to be — even in the darkest, most chaotic moments. 🌑
After Jesus tells his disciples to baptize all nations, He says: “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” 🌍✝️
In baptism, you are bound to a God who goes with you everywhere — no place is off-limits to Him. 🌊✝️
God goes with you to shield and save you not only from the pains of this life, but from death itself — because you will rise again. 🌅💫
Yet, you’re never alone because God is with you and for you. 🤗
