The “Omni’s” Of God

 The “Omni’s” Of God

Those who study the essence and character of God should be rather familiar with the trifecta nature of God: an omniscient (all-knowing), omnipotent (all-powerful), and omnipresent (all-present) being. These three attributes belong to the God of the Bible alone—which sets Him apart from all other alleged “gods” and wannabe “creators” made up in the mind of sinful man.

In Acts 17, when Paul was preaching to the Greeks at Mars Hill (the Areopagus), he defined God as the Creator, the one who gives life and breath to all creatures, who needs nothing from us, unlike their wooden statues (idols) they had to fashion and dust regularly. As you go through Paul’s description of God, he is appealing to the trifecta of “omni’s”.

It caught the attention of everyone because in the various forms of Greek mythology, including Stoicism and Epicureanism (evolutionism), the God of the Bible was so far beyond any alleged “god” from which they had ever heard. Acts 17:24-28, NKJV, says with my denotation added in bold:

24 “God, who made the world and everything in it (God is Creator and Omnipotent), since He is Lord of heaven and earth (God is Omnipotent), does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 “Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things (God is Omnipotent). 26 “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings (God is Omnipotent and Omniscience), 27 “so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us (God is Omnipresent); 28 “for in Him we live and move and have our being (God is Omnipresent), as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

Let’s look at the omni’s of God in more detail.

Omniscience 

Omni means “all” in Latin. The second part of omniscience, the word science, is recognizable to most. Science simply means knowledge in its classical definition. In Webster’s 1828 dictionary, it says that the “science of God must be perfect”, indicative of God’s omniscience.

Sadly, modern dictionary definitions often leave this out. Today, science has many definitions, including the observable and repeatable scientific method. But another newer definition is a religious definition being reserved to only the natural world or naturalism. Some get confused and convolute the methods of scientific observations and repeatability with the religion of naturalism.

But back to the point, omniscience simply means all-knowing. God is all-knowing, and we can ascertain this from many passages of the Bible. Here are just a handful of verses (NKJV):

·        For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. (1 John 3:20)

·        He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. (Psalm 147:4-5)

·        Do you know how the clouds are balanced, Those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge? (Job 37:16)

·        But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (Matthew 10:30)

·        Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. (Isaiah 40:28)

·        Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them. Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise from the ends of the earth, You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, You coastlands and you inhabitants of them! (Isaiah 42:9-10)

·        For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:12-13)

Omnipotence 

Now that you know that omni means “all”, let’s turn to omnipotent or omnipotence. Potent means “power” or “force”. It is from the Latin word potentia. And it is where we also get our modern words potential or potency.

In science, we learn about potential energy—think of God as having the ultimate or all the potential energy in all matters! Although analogies are not perfect, this example give hints about the omnipotence of God—He is all powerful in all respects.

In objection to God’s omnipotence, some people ask, “Is God powerful enough to sin?” When someone asks this question, he/she doesn’t realize that a God who cannot keep His own word would not be an omnipotent God—but merely a “potent” false god, like the Greek “gods” (i.e., we would no longer be talking about the God of the Bible).

An all-powerful God is One who states His sovereign will and accomplishes it—a God who cannot sin or lie (2 Corinthians 5:21[1]; Titus 1:2[2]; Hebrews 4:15[3], 6:18[4]). A less powerful “god” states his puny will and is too weak to accomplish it (i.e., sin). So, a good response could be that “to be an all-powerful God requires God to be powerful enough to keep from sinning, unlike the less-than-all-powerful God who could fail by sinning”.

The God of the Bible is all-powerful, which we can determine from many passages in Scripture. Here are just some examples (NKJV):

·        Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. (Hebrews 1:3)

·        But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)

·        I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. (Job 42:2)

God's nature is that of being the Creator of all things (Genesis 1:1-2:3, Exodus 20:11, Exodus 31:17, Nehemiah 9:6, John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:16-17, Hebrews 1, Psalm 33:6). Consider also:

·        For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)

·        Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You. (Jeremiah 32:17)

·        (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. (Romans 4:17)

·        Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it? (Isaiah 43:13)

·        For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. (Psalm 33:9)

·        Whatever the LORD pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places. (Psalm 135:6)

·        As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him; He is excellent in power, In judgment and abundant justice; He does not oppress. (Job 37:23)

God is the Almighty—48 times in the Old Testament God is called the Almighty. And 10 times in the New Testament! 58 total.

Omnipresence 

The word presence can be defined as the state of being present/existing in a specific place or moment in time. We as individual human beings (creatures) can only ever exist at a particular place and time—we live in the present. However that’s not the case for our Creator God, who is ever-present in all time, since He created time and is the Lord over time.

Scripture uses terms like He is the Alpha and Omega (which roughly equivalent to A-Z in our modern alphabet), the Beginning and the End, that He is before all things, the Ancient of Days, and so on. These phrases show that God’s nature is greater than time. Or simply put, God is beyond time.

Once people understand God’s omnipresence, it can help them answer those basic questions often asked like “where did God come from?” or “who created God?”.  Note, when people ask these types of questions, they are presuming that time is absolute and that God had to show up at some “point” on that timeline. But they have it backwards! Time is not greater than God.

Think about it: if time was greater than God, then God would not be God! Instead that “god” would just be some false, created deity—not the God of the Bible, who is beyond time and created time itself. God is the uncreated being that brought time into existence in the first place, which can be easily seen from the very first verse of the Bible, Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning, God…” (emphasis added).

I like the simplistic way the Westminster children’s catechism states the omnipresence of God to the youth (Question 12): “Does God know all things? Yes; nothing can be hid from God”. Again, like the previous omni’s, there are many biblical passages that describe God’s omnipresence. Here are just a handful of examples (NKJV):

·        The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3)

·        But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built! (1 Kings 8:27)

·        LORD, You have searched me and known me. (Psalm 139:1, plus the rest of the Psalm)

·        Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him? says the LORD; Do I not fill heaven and earth? says the LORD. (Jeremiah 23:24)

·        Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’ (Isaiah 46:9-10)

·        For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:12-13)

·        And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (Colossians 1:17)

·        For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)

·        Thus says the LORD: “Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? (Isaiah 66:1)

·        So that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; (Acts 17:27)

·        For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps. (Job 34:21)

The Lesser-Known Omni’s Of God 

This trifecta of omni’s are often cited and have been discussed by theologians throughout church history. In this section, we’ll briefly discuss some other “omni’s” (though others could probably come up with even more) and a few of the many passages associated with them:

·        Omniveritas of God (veritas means truth; thus, Omniveritas means all-truth)

·        Omnivita of God (vita means life; thus, Omnivita means all-life-giving/sustaining)

·        Omnibenevolence of God (benevolence means loving and kindness; thus, Omnibenevolence means all-love/loving in an all-kind way)

·        Omniperfectio (perfectio means perfection; thus, Omniperfectio means all-perfect)

·        Omnibonitas (bonitas means goodness; thus, Omnibonita means all-goodness)

·        Omnisanctitas (sanctitas means holiness; thus, Omnisanctus means all-holiness)

·        Omnisapientia (sapientia means wisdom; thus, Omnisapientia means all-wisdom)

·        Omniiustitia (iustitia means justice; thus Omniiustitia means all-just/justice)

Omniveritas Of God (All-Truthful) 

God is the truth (John 14:6[5]) and in him there is no falsehood (Titus 1:2[6]). God is the standard of truth and the definition of it. The existence of truth is predicated on the existence of the God of truth (Deuteronomy 32:4[7]; Psalm 31:5[8]; Isaiah 65:16[9]).

Omnivita Of God (All-Life-Giving/Sustaining) 

God is life (John 14:6[10]). He is the Creator of life (Genesis 1) and the Giver of life (1 Corinthians 15:45[11]). He can resurrect Himself (John 10:17-18[12]) and can resurrect us (John 5:24[13]), some to everlasting life and some to everlasting punishment (e.g., Matthew 25:31-46). He created both physical and spiritual living beings (e.g., angels, heavenly hosts, and even Satan in his original perfect state prior to his willful sin against God).

Omnibenevolence Of God (All-Loving) 

God is love (1 John 4:8[14]). He defines love (1 Corinthians 13) and He is the standard of steadfast love (e.g., Romans 8:38-39[15]). His love is unconditional, eternal, and personal for His children. And God showed his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8[16]).

In His triune nature, the three persons of God (Father, Son, Spirit) have perfect love and unity shared among them from all eternity. We can love because we are made in the image of a loving God (Genesis 1:27[17]). Reciprocally, when we love God, then we are to obey His commandments (John 14:15[18], 14:23-24[19]).

Benevolence has taken on the meaning of kindness in today’s vernacular. Nevertheless, God is both all-loving and all-kindness being the standard of both (e.g., Titus 3:4).

Omniperfectio (All-Perfect) 

God’s way is perfect and He is the standard of perfection (Psalm 18:30[20]; 2 Samuel 22:31[21]). God’s will is perfect (Romans 12:2), and His Law is perfect (Psalm 19:7). Every work of God is perfect. Deuteronomy 32:4 , NKJV, says:

He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.

Of course, we should expect every work of God to be perfect—because He is perfect. For example, His work of original creation was perfect. After creating the universe in six days, God stated that everything He had made was “very good” per Genesis 1:31[22]. However, there was the Fall into sin in Genesis 3, which ruined God’s perfect creation.

This is why we need a perfect Savior (Christ) to save us from sin and death. And it’s why we need a new heavens and new earth where creation will be restored to perfection with no sin, death, or suffering. God’s perfect work through His perfect life, death, and resurrection, which accomplished salvation for believers. Thus, Christians get to spend eternity with our perfect God, in a new perfect creation, with new perfect bodies forever, enjoying God’s perfect goodness forever. And all this is predicated on God’s omnniperfectus.

Omnibonitas (All-Good) 

Jesus once made a profound statement. Someone (a rich young ruler who was wondering what he could “do” to inherit eternal life) called Him “good teacher” and His response revealed the nature of His Godhood. In Luke 18:19, NKJV, Jesus said:

So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.

Note that Jesus does not correct him for this belief. Rather, Jesus corrects this man’s view of “goodness” (only God is good). So, Jesus is not denying his own goodness, but instead questioning the man’s definition of goodness and his view of God. Being God in the flesh, Jesus is good, and He is the very standard of it. God is good (e.g., Psalm 143:10[23]). During Creation Week, God called things He had created “good”. And at the culmination of Creation Week, God declared all things “very good”. Again, God’s works are perfect (as we saw in the previous section) and so His works are good—because of God’s perfect goodness.

From the opposite perspective, we can see that God is good because He has no deceit and commits no sin (2 Corinthians 5:21[24]; 1 Peter 2:22[25]; 1 John 3:5[26]).

Omnisanctitas (All-Holy) 

In both the Old and New Testament, God is proclaimed as “Holy, Holy, Holy”.

·        And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!” (Isaiah 6:3, NKJV)

·        The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” (Revelation 4:8, NKJV)

Holy means to be sacred and pure—and God is the very standard and source of sacredness and purity. He is the thrice Holy God and we are to emulate Him and be holy as well (1 Peter 1:15-16[27]). Even God’s name is holy (e.g., Psalm 103:1[28]; Ezekiel 39:7[29]). 

Omnisapientia (All-Wise) 

God is the source of all wisdom, and the perfection of wisdom is found only in Him. He gives wisdom to the wise and to those who fear Him—even Solomon’s wisdom for running the nation of Israel was given by God (1 Kings 4:29[30]; 2 Chronicles 1:11-12[31]) and He bestowed on Daniel wisdom (Daniel 2:23[32]). God gives wisdom liberally and without reproach (Proverbs 2:6[33]; Ecclesiastes 2:26[34]; James 1:5[35]).

Note that there is a distinction between sound or godly wisdom, which is from God (Proverbs 3:21[36]; James 3:17[37]), and counterfeit wisdom of the world (e.g., 1 Corinthians 3:19-20[38]; Colossians 2:23[39]; James 3:15-16[40]). There is no legitimate human (worldly) wisdom or understanding that can stand against the Lord and His perfect and infinite wisdom (Proverbs 21:30[41]).

Wisdom is an interesting thing. In our human state, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10[42]). And as mankind, we can grow and learn in understanding and wisdom. When Jesus took on flesh and became a man, He emptied Himself of His infinite godly wisdom and became the babe in the manger (Philippians 2:1-11). He too had to grow in wisdom:

·        And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. (Luke 2:40, NKJV)

·        And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. (Luke 2:52, NKJV)

And upon His resurrection, all authority—past tense—had returned to Him (e.g., Matthew 28:18[43]; Jude 1:25[44]) and He has all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Him (Colossians 2:3[45])—being fully God and fully man.

Omniiustitia (All-Just/Justice) 

God is a just God and the righteous Judge of all (Isaiah 45:21[46]; Psalm 75:7[47]; Ecclesiastes 3:17[48]; Hebrews 12:23[49]; 2 Timothy 4:8[50]). This is why God judges all sin (from the first sins of Satan, Adam, and Eve [in Genesis 3] to the final judgment):

·        “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him — the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. (John 12:48, NKJV)

God is the perfect standard of being just and His justice is absolute and without flaw. For God shows no partiality and takes no bribe (e.g., Deuteronomy 10:17[51]; Proverbs 20:23[52]; Romans 2:11[53]). This is why for even just one sin against a perfect and Holy God we deserve an infinite and just punishment (James 2:10[54]). Yet God in His infinite wisdom took the punishment on behalf of guilty sinners. The infinite Son of God—Jesus Christ—took that punishment and wrath of God was poured out on Him (Isaiah 53:10-11[55]; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4[56]; 1 Peter 2:24[57]).   

Concluding The Omni’s 

Of course, there are other Omni’s of God that I could have listed, but the ones in this article should be sufficient to show that God is the standard. Again, there is no standard greater than God for all matters. He is the ultimate source and highest basis for all things like knowledge, power, existence, life, wisdom, goodness, and so on.

We often think of the trifecta of Omni’s but Christ has lordship over all things—in heaven and on earth (e.g., Psalm 2:8[58], 103:19[59]; Matthew 6:10[60], 28:18[61]). Or in the words of Abraham Kuyper,

“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!”[62]
