Rather, we see God in Scripture call for obedience through manifesting the splendor of his majesty and the goodness of his character. If you screw up, you’re toast and should be ashamed of yourself.” I don’t, however, think that God desires to command obedience through trying to scare us or shame us. Some think of God’s constant presence as a tool of terror in God’s toolbox.

However, don’t be mistaken as to how God’s omnipresence moves the follower of Jesus to obedience to God’s will. The wisdom of his statement is in the reminder that when we live with a greater sense of the presence of God in our lives, we will be moved to let our actions coincide with our confession. There is no place so remote that we can escape His penetrating gaze.” Resisting Temptation to SinĮd Welch once said that when counseling men and women who are battling with pornography addiction, he asks them if they’ve forgotten that God is omnipresent. Sproul puts it, “To live coram Deo is to live one’s entire life in the presence of God, under the authority of God, to the glory of God…To live in the presence of God is to understand that whatever we are doing and wherever we are doing it, we are acting under the gaze of God. The phrase literally means “before God” or “before the face of God.” As R.C. The Latin phrase coram Deo represents one way saints of old applied the truth of God’s omnipresence to the practicalities of life. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. In other words, there is no place where God is not.

In theological terms, we say that God is omnipresent (everywhere present). The Bible teaches that God is everywhere present at all times.
