Omnipresence

Pastor Martin expounds the second essential ingredient of the fear of God: a pervasive sense of the presence of God. He distinguishes mere intellectual knowledge of God's omnipresence from the experiential awareness that God is here, using the Grand Canyon analogy to show how facts become transforming only in the presence of their object. He traces this theme through Abraham's walk before God Almighty, Joseph's refusal of Potiphar's wife, and David's meditation in Psalm 139, applying it to the ethical and moral implications for daily Christian living.

Moving to the second line of evidence for Christ's deity, Pastor Martin considers the distinguishing attributes of God that Scripture ascribes to Jesus Christ. He demonstrates three of them in this message: eternal existence (John 1:1; John 17:5; Colossians 1:17; John 8:58), changelessness or immutability (Hebrews 1:10-12; Hebrews 13:8), and omnipresence (John 3:13; Matthew 18:20; Matthew 28:20; Revelation 2-3). Each attribute is applied to the believer's walk and to the unconverted's need, showing that Christ in the full plentitude of Godhood is perfectly suited to the needs of sinners.
