Here Is One Thing I Know About Everyone

John 1:18 - No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. NASB 
​

• No One Has Seen God 

Yes, we can all say this. The one thing we know for sure is "no one has ever seen God in all of His Glory" and lived to tell about it.
 
Moses was told this by God in Exodus 33:20-23: God said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!" Then the LORD said, "Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock; and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.  "Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen."
 
This was the closest any man has come to visibly seeing God. 

• There Was One 

When we begin to read the Gospel of John we learn there was One, who was with God, and was God and His Name was The Word or The Logos. Then according to John 1:14 the Word became flesh and we know Him as Jesus.
 
Jesus, as He will be known on earth was known in Heaven as The Logos, came for a few reasons and one of those reasons was to explain to people what God was really like. There were a lot of misconceptions and Jesus was here to reveal God's grace and truth. 

• Do You Want To Know God? 

If you answer "yes" to the above question then I have the answer for you. I can point you in the correct direction on how to know God.
 
It is by knowing Jesus Christ.
 
The more you know Jesus the more you will know God the Father. Look what Jesus says about His relationship with the Father: John 10:30 - "I and the Father are one."
 
And look what He says a few verses later John 10:36-38 - "…do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?  " If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;  but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father."
 
Jesus is speaking very clearly. He is One with the Father, the Father is in Him and He is in the Father. So, if you want to know the Father then I highly recommend reading everything you can about the Son, Jesus Christ. 

• I Have Seen God

What? Your premise from the beginning was no one can see God. How can you now change and say you have seen God?
 
Here is how I have seen God.
 
I have seen men and women confess Jesus to be their Lord and Savior and be baptized into Christ and I have witnessed God change their lives.
 
I have seen God at work in people's lives.
 
I have seen drunks never take another drink. I have seen drug addicts stop using drugs. I have seen God at work in people's lives to the point where some didn't even want to attend a worship service but came reluctantly.
 
Then after they heard the gospel their hearts were changed when they learned what Jesus did for them.
 
I have seen God at work in people's lives.
 
I pray you will allow God to work in your life today so other people can see God at work in you.
 
Luke 6:45 - "The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what isgood;…"
 
Be like Jesus and allow the good to come out of your heart and in so doing you will be like God.
 
Think About This:
 
A Christian is one who makes it easier for other people to believe in God.
