The attribute of Gods immensity flows from His infinite being. It is an attribute in respect to place and time. In respect to place God is immense - He is everywhere present in the fullness of His being. There is no place where He is not. The indivisible eternity of God embraces all divisible times, not coextensively or formally, but eminently and indivisibly. We should notice that the immense God embraces in His immensity all the extended and divisible parts of the world because wherever He is He is there wholly. This does not mean He is the chair, or lamppost, or car, as the New Agers would like to think. But it does mean He is everywhere present in the totality of His being. The chair, lamppost and car all have their being in Him - He upholds them all. If He did not uphold them they would cease to exist. The Creator is distinct from the creature. The Bible teaches this very plainly as we will see. - God and Song: An Inquiry Into the Eternity of God in relation to Church Worship by Dr. C. Matthew McMahon
