If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me even the night shall be light about me. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. However, He is there in the total fullness of His being, although the sense in which may vary. Now, He is not equally present in the same sense with all His creatures because He is not in the earth as He is in heaven He does not live in animals as He does in born-again men He is not in the Church as He is in Christ.

There is a distinction between immensity and omnipresence, for immensity stresses the transcendence of God since He is beyond everything that is. His omnipresence is also an aspect of His infinity, because it touches space. ![]() He is an omnipresent being at every single point. He is a transcendent being and transcends all of material reality, but at any one point He is there as a whole (not in part) being. Immensity is the characteristic of God whereby He transcends all spatial limitation, yet He is present everywhere with His whole being. Home › Theology › The Immensity and Omnipresence of God
