Good morning,
“In the beginning God…” (Genesis 1:1) The fourth word in the Bible must be understood or the rest of the Bible will make no sense.
This week we will look at the foundational truths of God. He is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and sovereign.
Next week we will look at God’s character.
Finally, knowing these truths, we will be challenged to take God’s word to our friends, neighbors, and enemies. We will learn what it means to fulfill the Great Commission of Matthew 28.
GOD IS:
Omnipresent
God is omnipresent, He is everywhere
“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.” (Psalm 139:7-10)
“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” (Proverbs 15:3)
“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” (Isaiah 43:1)
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20)
We can not hide from God? Everywhere we are, God is also there. We should cringe when we think of some of the places we have taken God. We should rejoice that He brought us back to fellowship with Him.
When we sin, and we will, we should confess, repent, and ask God to forgive us. 1 John 1:9 states, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Fellowship restored; we then continue to serve God.
