Omni is that little Latin word meaning "all". In theology, God is often described in terms
of the omni’s: Omnipotent, Omniscient,
Omnipresent. He is All Powerful, All
Knowing, All Present. Omni also has the
idea of “everywhere.” Power everywhere,
knowing everywhere, present everywhere.
We’re used to seeing those omni words associated with
God. But it’s always omni plus
something. I would suggest that God is
simply Omni. He is all. He is everything. 1 Corinthians 15:58 speaks of God as all in
all. He is supreme. He is sovereign. He is everything. And He should be everything to me; my all in
all; my all sufficient treasure; my all fulfilling joy; my all. He is Omni.
Jesus exhibits the original A-Z challenge. He declares Himself to be the Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end, the A to Z.
He is everything. So this is an
A-Z within an A-Z. To remind myself how
God is all, how Christ is beginning to end, here’s an A-Z describing God:
He is Awesome, Amazing
He is Beautiful, Best
He is Creator, Compassionate
He is Divine, Delightful
He is Estimable, Everlasting
He is Faithful, Forgiving, Fantastic
He is Glorious, Great, Gracious
He is Holy, Honorable
He is Immortal, Immovable
He is Just, Justifier
He is Kind, King
He is Love, Lovely
He is Majestic, Mediator
He is Near, Noble
He is Opulent, Overwhelming
He is Priceless, Preeminent, Perfect
He is Quality, Quintessential
He is Righteous, Radiant, Rock
He is Savior, Sovereign
He is True, Transcendent
He is Unending, Ubiquitous
He is Valiant, Virtuous
He is Wondrous, Wise
He is eXcellent, eXtraordinary (yeah, I had to cheat on
those)
He is Yahweh
He is Zealous for His own glory!
What a joy to spend time meditating on all that God is for
this post. He is all. He is omni.
