Christian Science teaches that God is omnipresent Being. In every age countless people have recognized the presence of God. The Psalmist sang (Ps. 139:7-10): "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me."
Centuries later Christ Jesus recognized man's inseparability from God. He fully understood the import of his own words (John 10:30), "I and my Father are one." He was continually aware of his Father's unfailing presence and of his own security therein. His discernment of man's at-one-ment with God enabled him to exercise mastery over every suggestion of separation from God.
The Apostle Paul endeavored to persuade the people of his time that God was always with them and that nothing could alienate them from His holy presence. In his letter to the Christians in Rome, he wrote (Rom. 8:38, 39), "I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Paul was completely convinced that no conceivable circumstance, person, place, or thing could separate him, those Christians in Rome, or us from the loving presence of God.
