God is metaphysical, not physical, with no dimensions for dimension simply a limit or definition. He is truly extra-dimensional in a sense. Dimensions have to do with the time-space continuum of which He created and is over and superior to and not subject to. He is above and beyond, truly transcendent to our physical cosmos, yet immanent or near us. “Do not I fill the heaven and the earth?”(cf. Jer. 23:24) and omnipresent or present everywhere fully at once known as His immensity. “Am I only a God nearby,” … “and no ta god far away?” (cf. Jer. 23:23).
He has no stellar or galactic address that we can go visit Him. No one can see Him even in heaven for spirit can not be seen. He dwells in the third heaven with the saints and angels. God is not far from every one of us and in Him, we live and move and have our being (cf. Acts 17:27–28). Then we see that God has no specific whereabouts or spiritual waiting and visiting room.
Most of all, God is spirit (cf. John 4:24) and cannot be put into a box or limited by us. The maxim that the finite cannot grasp the infinite holds true for HIm. “Canst thou by searching find out God?” (cf. Job 11:7). God can be found spiritually but not located., but He dwells within the souls of His children. it is said that Christianity is about the God who is there, as Francis Schaeffer said, “He is there and He is not silent.”
Job asked; “O that I knew where I might find Him.” (cf. Job 23:3). David asked: “Where should I go from Your Spirit? Where should I flee from Your presence?” (cf. Psalm 139:7). We can only find HIm if we search with all our heart (cf. Isaiah 55:6; Jer. 29:23). He dwells in the high and holy place and inhabits eternity (cf. Isaiah 57:15). “Behold, You are a God who hides Yourself…” (cf. Isaiah 45:15). When we find God, it’s a spiritual renewal awareness, an awakening of our spirit, not in knowing His physical address or heavenly GPS. Soli Deo Gloria!
