The Invisible GOD

John 1:18, "No man has seen GOD at any time; the Only Begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him." GOD is a spirit and is therefore invisible to all human creatures unless He opens our eyes to see Him as He did to Abraham in Gen. 18. However, He has a plan to make Himself visible through the highest member of His creation, and that is Man. The one and only man who has been brought forth in the image of GOD was Jesus, His Only Begotten Son, the firstborn of every creature. The men who had the privilege of being discipled by GOD's son testified that they had seen and felt and heard the invisible word of life walking among them. "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life." (1 John 1:1) However, this was merely the beginning of the plan of GOD to make Himself visible to all of creation. The door would be opened to many more sons after Jesus' death and resurrection. "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on His name." (John 1:12) This book addresses the mystery of how ordinary men and women can also be made into the image of the invisible GOD. "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Cor. 3:18) And we find that the whole creation is eagerly awaiting this manifestation of the sons of GOD whose mission is to deliver all things from the bondage of corruption.
