HAVE YOU SEEN GOD?

Charles Curtman – 10h ·

“There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power” (Rom. 1:20). God “has not left Himself without witness,” and “seeing Him who is invisible” isn’t impossible (Acts 14:17; Heb. 11:27).

There are five ways by which the invisible God has made it possible for Him to be “clearly seen” by those who sincerely want to see Him. Here they are:

First, God may be “clearly seen” in His CREATION (Rom. 1:20; Ps. 119:1-4). Divine design and God’s invisible hand can be clearly seen behind and throughout the entire cosmos—in the constellations and throughout the realm celestial; in the makeup and workings of a microscopic cell, in all His creatures great and small, etc.

Secondly, God may be “clearly seen” in the CANON of Holy Scripture. “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (John 5:39).

Thirdly, God may be “clearly seen” by the light of ones CONSCIENCE. Romans 2:15 speaks of “the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.”

Fourthly, God may be “clearly seen” in CHRIST: “Jesus saith … he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” And, “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). See also: John 1:1, 18; 14:9; Heb. 1:1-3; Col. 2:9).

The time came when God said, “I will take. on a human body where men can watch me, and listen to me and know what I am like. “I will show them by way of a miraculous virgin birth, a perfectly virtuous life, a vicarious death and a victory over death and the grave what I am like.

Fifthly, God may be “clearly seen” in the CHANGE that is made in people when they are born again. There is a change made in Christians that makes them the salt of the earth and the light of the world to the extent that people are able to see evidence of the glory of God in them (2 Cor. 5:17; Matt. 5:13-16; Col. 1:27).

God cannot be seen by those who don’t want to see Him, proving that “there are none so blind as those who will not see.” He will never be found by those who have not sought Him. If you are not one of these people, be encouraged by the following:

“Ye shall seek me and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”—Jer. 29:13

“He is not far from every one of us.”—Acts 17:27

“Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God and there is none else.”—Isa. 45:22).
