Bible Verses About The Omnipresence Of God And Divine Nature

Early Christian writings teach that God is everywhere present, not limited to one place, and that his divine nature is beyond bodily form and change. Writers like Theophilus, Origen, Novatian, Gregory Thaumaturgus, and Minucius Felix connect this idea to Bible passages such as Jeremiah 23:24, Psalm 139, and Hebrews 1:3.

The witness is broad across the 2nd and 3rd centuries, though some cards are indirect because they speak more about God's greatness, eternity, or invisible nature than about omnipresence in a direct way. The strongest evidence is for God's full presence in heaven and earth and for the Son and Spirit sharing in divine nature. A few cards are only background or broad theology, so the page should stay focused on direct statements about God's presence and nature.
