Bible Verse of The Day – 6-2-21

John 1:18 (NKJV) 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

No one has seen God.

This is a pretty black and white statement made by John.

And yet, in spite of no one ever seeing God, we have faith in Him.

We trust Him to forgive us, sustain us and save us.

Why?

Because He is evident in everything.

We see tangible evidence of Him in the world around us.

We feel the wind. We smell the salt air at the ocean shore. We hear the birds. We see the clouds and feel the rain on our faces. We feel the beating of our heart. We watch our chests rise and fall as we breathe in and out.

More importantly, we understand the feeling of freedom we experience after having our sins forgiven.

We know what it means to have our poor choices (sins) of the past cleansed and removed from us.

We understand what it means to be a Child of the most-high God through the blood of Jesus Christ.

We don’t need to see God. He makes Himself known to us in so many different ways.

And the mystery of God, and who He is, holds a certain level of awe and intrigue for many people.

Personally, I love God despite never seeing Him. I believe that not seeing Him is part of how He works and moves.

He requires that we have faith to follow Him.

In fact, we need to have faith to please Him.

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Follow God. Pursue Him. Love Him. But don’t ever worry about not seeing Him face to face.

He is who He is. And who He is is more than sufficient.
