Seeing the invisible, eternal God

No one has ever seen God. He is a Spirit, invisible to natural human eyes. However, the Bible tells us that “the only God, who is at the Father's side” has made Him known to us (John 1:18). He did this by taking on human form Himself! About 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ was born as a human baby. Having grown up, He began His public ministry of preaching, healing, and showing what God’s Kingdom is like. People could see Him and touch Him and hear Him speak. He looked like an ordinary man — most people did not even realize that He was far more than just human!

Nowadays, we can’t see Jesus physically anymore, since He has returned to His Father in heaven. However, we have four Bible books full of eyewitness accounts about all the things “which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched” (1 John 1:1).

God is invisible. But He has revealed Himself through prophets and most of all by His Son. Jesus Christ has shown us the glory and the endless love of God. He has made the Father’s character visible.
