A social media poster observed;
“God could at any point reveal himself if he exists, but we will be quick to explain why he won’t or can’t. Why is that? Who designed this God myth? Was it God?my
My reply:
But he does. It’s not a case of seeing is believing. As Christ said, “if you believe you will see the glory of God.” I have heard His voice and His laughter, felt His Presence, been comforted in grief and strengthened when afraid by His Spirit. I have observed His redemptive work in situations for which there was no other explanation but the hand of God, seen answers to prayer, including miraculous healing. IYKYK. 1/30/26
Further, from a prior post of mine:
Jesus said He had to leave for the benefit of His followers, so the Comforter could come…. Jesus knew we would depend on seeing Him with our own eyes, on having His physical Presence, as long as we could. We could never mature in the Spirit while depending on our physical senses. His Immortality could not continue to manifest, feeding our physical senses in the physical realm, and sustain freewill for mankind’s continued existence in the physical.
Faith is the fulfilled desire to see beyond the physical that is rewarded with the gift of The Unseen that gives us spiritual vision to see more than the physical existence alone. And when the physical body ceases its labor, we are already fully present in the spiritual realm. 1/31/2022. CBByrd
