Each of these aspects holds significant theological and practical implications within the biblical narrative. 1. Present Time The Bible often emphasizes the importance of the present moment, urging believers to live faithfully and righteously in the time they have. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul writes, "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil" (<a href="/ephesians/5-15.htm">Ephesians 5:15-16</a>). This exhortation highlights the urgency of living in accordance with God's will in the present age, recognizing the fleeting nature of time and the moral challenges of the world. 2. Presenting Offerings and Gifts The act of presenting offerings to God is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures. In the Old Testament, the Israelites were instructed to bring various offerings to the Lord as acts of worship and atonement. <a href="/leviticus/1-2.htm">Leviticus 1:2-3</a> states, "Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd or the flock.'" These offerings were a means of expressing devotion, gratitude, and repentance. In the New Testament, the concept of presenting offerings evolves to include the giving of oneself to God. <a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a> urges believers, "Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." This passage underscores the idea that the ultimate offering is the dedication of one's life to God's service. 3. The Presence of God The presence of God is a central theme in the Bible, signifying His nearness and involvement in the lives of His people. In the Old Testament, God's presence was often associated with specific locations, such as the Tabernacle or the Temple. <a href="/exodus/33-14.htm">Exodus 33:14</a> records God's promise to Moses, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." In the New Testament, the presence of God is made manifest through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. <a href="/matthew/1-23.htm">Matthew 1:23</a> declares, "Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel" (which means, "God with us"). This fulfillment of prophecy emphasizes the incarnation of Christ as the ultimate expression of God's presence among humanity. Furthermore, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers signifies God's continual presence and guidance. Jesus assures His disciples in <a href="/john/14-16.htm">John 14:16-17</a> , "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth." This promise highlights the ongoing relationship between God and His people through the Holy Spirit. 4. Presenting the Gospel The New Testament also speaks to the responsibility of believers to present the Gospel to others. In <a href="/2_timothy/4-2.htm">2 Timothy 4:2</a> , Paul instructs Timothy, "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction." This charge emphasizes the importance of being ready to share the message of salvation at all times, reflecting the urgency and significance of the present moment in God's redemptive plan. In summary, the concept of "present" in the Bible encompasses the immediacy of time, the act of offering oneself and gifts to God, the profound reality of God's presence, and the call to present the Gospel to the world. Each aspect invites believers to live with intentionality, devotion, and awareness of God's active role in their lives.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
