How do we know that God's presence is essential for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

God's presence is essential for Christians as it signifies His grace and assurance in guiding and sustaining His people.

The importance of God's presence is emphasized throughout Scripture, particularly in Exodus 33, where Moses intercedes on behalf of Israel. His plea, 'If Thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence,' underscores the belief that without God’s presence, all efforts are in vain. Christians today understand that God's reassuring presence not only empowers them through life's challenges but also distinguishes them as His chosen people, separated for His purpose. This presence provides the foundation for rest and peace amid a troubled world. As God's representatives, believers are called to experience this ongoing relationship, reflecting God's character in their lives—a testimony inherent in the assurance that He abides with them until the end.
