No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.” So, we see God by seeing Jesus. And 1 John 3:2, “We know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.”
Actively Seek Him
Look for God in every situation daily. Whether it is big or small, look for him. If you are just walking down the street, look for the beautiful things he has made. When you are with your friends or family, thank him for putting those people in your life.
The Substantive view locates the image of God in shared characteristics between God and humanity such as rationality or morality. A Relational understanding argues that the image is found in human relationships with God and each other.
Paul might have remembered Moses and realized that one way we see portions of the glory of God is in others. Whenever we look upon others and they remind us that love never ends, we see a glimmer of the love of God and of the grace of Christ.
"We see God every time we see a tree, flower, animal or even a person. God shows himself to us through all his wonderful creations all around us." Jacoba, that sounds like something the apostle Paul wrote in his letter to Roman Christians.
God is said to be the one “who alone possesses unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see” (I Timothy 6:16). We read about “the King, eternal, immortal, invisible” (I Timothy 1:17), “seeing Him who is unseen” (Hebrews 11:27). There is a reference to “His invisible attributes” (Romans 1:20).
The experiences of prophets who saw God face-to-face are recorded in Genesis 32:30; Exodus 33:11; Ether 12:38–39; Moses 7:2–4; Abraham 3:11; and Joseph Smith—History 1:15–17. Discuss how prophets today are like the prophets of old.
Jesus is important to us because through His Atonement, teachings, hope, peace, and example, He helps us change our lives, face our trials, and move forward with faith as we journey back to Him and His Father.
In Isaiah 43:4, it says, “Since you are precious and honored in my sight and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.” In God's eyes, we are precious and honored. He loves us so much that he would exchange nations for our life.
He created people out of love for the purpose of sharing love. People were created to love God and each other. Additionally, when God created people, he gave them good work to do so that they might experience God's goodness and reflect his image in the way they care for the world and for each other.
God is your Heavenly Father
Just as your mother and father created your physical body, your Heavenly Father created your spirit. That's why God is called the “Father of spirits” (Hebrew 12:9). This familial relationship means that you can turn to Him when you need help.
Angels see, and so do believers in heaven.
For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 18:10). Angels see the face of God. They are spirits. They do not have eyeballs or retinas, but they see the face of God.
Like Proverbs 15:3 explains, “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” God is keeping an eye on everyone. Nothing that happens in the world is out of His view. As Hebrews 4:13 reminds us, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.
The Franciscan Italian priest Pio of Pietrelcina reported visions of both Jesus and Mary as early as 1910. For a number of years he claimed to have experienced deep ecstasy along with his visions.
Jesus' name in Hebrew was “Yeshua” which translates to English as Joshua. So how did we get the name “Jesus”? And is “Christ” a last name? Watch the episode to find out!
You enter heaven by forgiveness and through the righteousness that Jesus gives you. You do not enter into heaven by the Christian life. It's always true that where faith is birthed, works will follow, but salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
Jesus died as you, so you could live as Him. Through the death and miraculous resurrection of Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in your life, God sees Jesus when he sees you. There are many reasons to praise God, both found in scripture and out of our personal experience with Him.
In her 2018 book What Did Jesus Look Like?, Taylor used archaeological remains, historical texts and ancient Egyptian funerary art to conclude that, like most people in Judea and Egypt around the time, Jesus most likely had brown eyes, dark brown to black hair and olive-brown skin. He may have stood about 5-ft.-5-in.
God has revealed himself to us in the glory of creation, in the perfection of the written word, and in the personal experience of all who seek him.
God the Father is spirit. That means he does not have a physical body. He is invisible.
Moshe (Moses) asks God “Show me your glory.” God responds that He cannot be seen by any human being. But, God tells Moshe, “Stand in the cleft of the rock” and “you will see My back, but My face must not be seen.” (Exodus 33: 17-23) What does this mean?
