God's presence is assured to believers through the promises made in Scripture, such as His commitment to never leave us.
In Genesis 28:15, God promises Jacob, 'I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest.' This assurance of God's presence is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, reflecting God's unchanging nature. In times of uncertainty or struggle, believers can find comfort in knowing that the Lord stands above their circumstances, just as He stood above Jacob during his flight from home. This divine presence is continually manifested through the Holy Spirit, who dwells within believers, affirming that Christ is our mediator and connection between heaven and earth, ensuring that God is always with us.
