The Trinity: Each Person In, Described as Omnipresent
Jump to: Torrey'sLibrarySubtopicsTerms
Topical Encyclopedia
The doctrine of the Trinity, a cornerstone of Christian theology, posits that God exists as three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—yet is one in essence. Each Person of the Trinity is described as omnipresent, meaning they are present everywhere at all times. This attribute underscores the divine nature and unity of the Godhead.

God the Father: Omnipresence

The omnipresence of God the Father is a foundational concept in Scripture. In Jeremiah 23:23-24 , the Lord declares, "Am I only a God nearby," declares the LORD, "and not a God far away? Can a man hide in secret places where I cannot see him?" declares the LORD. "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" This passage affirms that God's presence permeates all of creation, transcending spatial limitations.

Psalm 139:7-10 further illustrates this attribute: "Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea, even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast." These verses poetically express the inescapable presence of God, emphasizing His intimate involvement with His creation.

God the Son: Omnipresence

The omnipresence of Jesus Christ, God the Son, is affirmed in the New Testament. While Jesus, during His earthly ministry, was physically present in one location at a time, His divine nature transcends these limitations. In Matthew 28:20 , Jesus assures His disciples, "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." This promise of perpetual presence indicates His divine ability to be with all believers simultaneously, regardless of their geographical location.

Colossians 1:17 speaks to the cosmic scope of Christ's presence: "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." This verse suggests that Christ's sustaining power and presence are integral to the existence and maintenance of the universe, further affirming His omnipresence.

God the Holy Spirit: Omnipresence

The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, is also described as omnipresent. In John 14:16-17 , Jesus promises the coming of the Holy Spirit, saying, "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you." The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers across the world and throughout time exemplifies His omnipresence.

Psalm 139:7 also alludes to the Spirit's omnipresence: "Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?" This rhetorical question implies that the Spirit of God is present everywhere, reinforcing the concept of His omnipresence.

In summary, the omnipresence of each Person of the Trinity is a profound truth revealed in Scripture. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each embody this divine attribute, affirming their unity and co-equal status within the Godhead.
