No Man has ever seen God…yet all through the history of Mankind he is the most talked about, studied and baffling infinite power who solely sits as the uncreated catalyst for the entire universe…the one who was never created nor can ever be destroyed but transfers his spirit to his creation in hopes that they will commune with him in Spirit and Truth…John 1:1-4 (KJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
To Know God is to have a relationship with his Son. God the father sits outside of time, space, our five senses and strictly deals with us from Spirit to Spirit. It is very difficult if not impossible to relate to something outside of the realm of human understanding. Man on the other hand is a finite (Mind and Body) yet eternal (Spirit) being that is moreso anchored by the first two which when they are not led by the spirit of God will suppress the knowledge of God and his presence in their lives.
God Made us in is image and Likeness yet his creation seeks to make God in his image and their likeness…The Lord saw this issue and solved it before time began because he knew that man would eat from the tree of limited human logic (knowledge of Good an Evil) as well as have the audacity to dominate territory that he never had jurisdiction over which is in heaven. This “problem” leaves us with a question on how to relate with God knowing that God Limited himself from entering into his creations affairs unless he moves within his sovereignty (God does what he wants, when he wants and answers to no one nor owes us any explanation).
How did he limit himself? Genesis 1:26 Says that God gave “man” charge to rule and dominate over the earth and everything in it. So since God cant go back on his word. He has to provide a bridge or loophole that will satisfy the need for man to touch and relate through a representative who is inline with Genesis 1:26 while simultaneously satisfying the requirement to enter into the earth legally! This wonderful arrangement places the above scripture in its context…now we have a man or God in the flesh that we can see, touch, feel and expresses himself on our level yet without sin in the one called JESUS. This same Jesus illustrates who God is and how we are to dominate in all areas of the Mind, Body and Spirit…thus showing us how we are to dominate as God intended. When you Study Jesus, You Study God… This fact truly highlights the scripture “When you have seen him you have seen the Father”.
This however also leads us into the post Resurrection period…from Jesus in the flesh to Christ in the Spirit….what was once invisible became visible to only become invisible again…why? To prepare us for eternity. Our spirit is the only thing left after we die, whether it enters into heaven or hell…it will live on…so why not be led by the Spirit of God in this life so you will see him face to face in the next.
