Here is how to see the Invisible God

Scripture tells you that no one has ever seen God. The true God cannot be made visible by any kind of image formed in your mind or conjured from your deepest imaginations. He remains invisible. No one has ever laid eyes upon the Holiest of Holies. As a Christians, you are left with classifications and symbolic language to describe to the world the God you worship. You can only tell an unsaved world that your God is like a refiner’s fire burning And yet you cannot capture or express the magnitude of the Majestic God. God himself only described himself to Moses as being the “I am who I am”. There are not human words to give you a visible image of The Creator. He still remains unseen.

Yet, the gospel declares that at a certain point in time however, God became visible. It was a historical event that caused time itself to bend. Eternity’s clock changed its direction from BC to AD the moment God stepped out of time into human reality. The Creator of humanity became a part of his creation. People saw him. They heard him. They touched him. This is what’s called the incarnation – God made visible, not as an idol, but in a life, a human life, the life of Jesus Christ. But the question is why throughout all the gospel and epistles, no one saw fit to describe the physical characteristics of God made flesh? How come the Holy Spirit left humans mystified and clueless to what the savior Jesus Christ looked like? Was he tall, dark and handsome? How come you are still forced in this age of science and technology to still worship that which you have not seen?

Scripture gives you some answers “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; humans have beheld his glory, glory as of the only son from the Father. Scripture points out to you that it matters not what Christ looked like when he dwelt among humans. No, what matter is what he did. His actions outshine his appearance. His spirit overshadowed his flesh. Humans are beings caught up with the flesh. Striving to look their best and are attracted to those who look good. For humans flesh and blood still matters a great deal. Scripture says what drew the disciples to Jesus was not the glide in his stride, or the fineness of his physique. It wasn’t the color of his skin or the height of his statue. No Scripture says that ‘they had beheld his glory, glory as of the only son from the Everlasting father, a glory that surpasses human appearance or understanding?

You shall not really see God unless you consider his work in Christ for you. You need to receive that which the forefathers received in order to see this invisible God. You need to receive two precious gems that will allow you to behold God in all of his glory.

They are God’s grace that is mercy, and his truth. First he has shown you the truth about you. You deserve to die. There’s nothing good about you. You have fallen short of the glory of God and will continue to fall short of his glory. Without Christ, you are a worthless sinner. The truth about the incarnate Christ was that His life was the ultimate and last commandment. He said that this is my last commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this: that a person lay down their life for their friends. God died for you because he loved you. He died for you so that you would not have to die. That’s grace. That’s mercy. You have someone who loves you for just being you. He’s not concern with how you look or what you have. He loves you. And because of his love, his grace and his mercy, you can behold his glory every day.
