“to be within” or “near“ 在内 或 接近

God always present within the universe, yet He is always

distinct from it. He is everywhere, yet not in everything.
He is personally and intimately involved, yet distinct.

上帝存在于宇宙之中，但又在宇宙之外。祂是无所不
在的，但是不是在每一个事物中，祂是个体的和密切
相关的，但是不同的。

God is ‘within’ the universe in that God is its sustaining

cause. 神存在于宇宙中，因为内祂着维系宇宙。
CUS Jer 23:23-24 23 耶和华说，我岂为近处的神呢？
不也为远处的神吗？ 24耶和华说，人岂能在隐密处藏
身，使我看不见他呢？耶和华说，我岂不充满天地吗？
23 “Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God

far away? 24 Can a man hide himself in secret places so

that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill
heaven and earth? declares the Lord.
CUS Psa 145:18 18 凡求告耶和华的，就是诚心求告他的，

on him, to all who call on him in truth.
