GOD IS EVERYWHERE!
[An understanding of God from a question by a young person, which proved to be quite profound]
QUESTION: How is God everywhere, and how will we see Him?
ANSWER: I don't think I have ever been asked how I know God is everywhere. I just understood that the Word of God showed that, and never made it a point of study. It is somewhat like the question: Where did God come from? We know He always existed (Jehovah--ever self-existing One) , but that is beyond my comprehension because I am finite. I just leave that subject alone. Where is God if not everywhere and seeing and hearing everything (Prov. 15:3)?
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). In the paper: Notes On The Trinity, I spoke of the Spirit of God as being like unto air; and consider also that God is the TOTALITY of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; not separate from them. There are only three Persons of the Godhead, not four. We cannot trichotomize Him or fully comprehend Him; but He manifested Himself to us as a trinity, which we understand in part, for we are a trinity of body, soul, and spirit ---though confined to a body.
The Word says no man has seen God (the Father) at any time, and I am persuaded no one will. The Lord Jesus manifested Him, and said: "he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father" (John 14; Col.1:15). That is God! Has the reader known Him by faith and received Him? Mankind will one day see Jesus as their Lord or see Him as their judge.
When the Lord said He and the Father would come to a believer and make their abode with him (John 14:23), that is by the Spirit indwelling one. That is God! When we get home to heaven we will see the Lord Jesus and dwell with Him in the Father's house, and we will hear the Father speaking, but no one can otherwise see God. We have one to see when we get home, even Jesus the Christ, our Lord. He is God manifested in the flesh for us.
Here are some verses to review, showing that God is everywhere by His Spirit: 2 Chron. 16:9; Zech.4:10; Job 28:9-10; Jer. 23:23-24; John 14:23. I am sure one can also find other such references. It is surely comforting to know that as our Lord said: "Lo, I am with you alway" (Matt. 28:20). - R. DeWitt, 11/05
