You can’t believe in God until you see him?
God is spirit, invisible to human eyes.
John 4:24
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
So how can we meet God?
Should we go to church?
Or should we seek out a pastor or elder we can see?
Right here, there is a tangible God! It’s the Bible.
John 1:1 says, “The Word was God.”
If our father left a will, wouldn’t we only know his thoughts and heart through it?
Because that will allows us to meet him, we cherish it as if it were our own.
Similarly, the Bible, which records God’s will, becomes the visible God, and we can meet Him through His Word.
But I really want to see God and hear His Word, don’t I?
What kind of people does God meet in the Bible?
Someone with a pretty face?
Someone with a kind and gentle heart?
Someone who prays a lot?
Someone who volunteers a lot?
No! God meets those who seek Himself.
When I earnestly seek God, God also watches over me from heaven, and then a spark flies! Isn’t this truly a fateful encounter?
Furthermore, in the New Testament’s prophetic book of Revelation 22, it says His servants see His face.
They say God’s servants have God’s name on their foreheads.
How can I know if I have God’s name on my forehead?
Revelation 7 describes 144,000 from the 12 tribes who receive God’s seal from an angel.
Revelation 14 describes God and Jesus being with them (God’s servants).
So, if the prophecy in Revelation is being fulfilled,
we must first verify in the Bible whether it is true or false. If it is, then I too must belong to the 12 tribes to receive God’s seal on my forehead.
Just as believers in the Old Testament era believed in God, but did not believe in Jesus, the fulfilled embodiment of the Old Testament prophecies, and persecuted Him,
even today, even if the New Testament prophecies are being fulfilled, there will be many who do not believe and will persecute those who are with God.
The Importance of Encountering God Through the Word
Until now, I’ve tried to find God, going to prayer centers, spiritual training centers, and even famous churches. But because I didn’t know the Word, I couldn’t encounter God within it.
So, what happens when we encounter God, who is the Word?
Knowing the Word is knowing God. If the Word is within me, it’s like God is within me.
I, too, am within God.
If God is with me, He guides me on the path of life, and I live a life filled with joy and eternal bliss.
On the other hand, if I don’t encounter God, I’ll be abandoned by Him and unable to enter heaven.
The Bible records God’s will for me to fulfill.
So, if I don’t know the Bible, I don’t know the promises God wants to fulfill, and I can’t do His will.
What is a true encounter?
Meeting God isn’t simply about reading the Bible. You can only truly say you’ve met Him when you understand His message through His Word.
What do you think? Now, let’s make an effort to meet God, shall we?
I hope you and I can meet the invisible God through the Bible and receive great blessings!
