verse 12
{color-red}12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.[/color]
NO MAN has SEEN GOD at any time?
Why is that?
We read in Exodus about Moses going up to the Mount where God inscribed the tablets of stone with his own finger and gave them to Moses, yet MOSES could not look upon GOD.
Our eyes cannot look upon the GLORY of GOD. it would blind us or likely kill us. One day we will be changed, transformed, and our eyes will now be able to see Heavenly things, things which until then have been invisible form us because our eyes are not capable of seeing these things here and now.
THAT will CHANGE. NO man has seen nor looked upon GOD and lived. It simply is not possible.
I chuckle to myself when I hear or read about the scoffers who question HIS existence and ask why nobody has seen Him.
Really? You want to see HIM with your earthly eyes?
You have a death wish?
I think I will pass and wait until I have been given eyes that are capable of looking at our wonderful Savior and Lord in all of HIS Glory, radiant and spectacular, lighting the universe.
Can you look into the sun with your eyes today? No?
God's Glory is much brighter than the Sun. How do you think you can look upon it now??????
So much for man's so called wisdom........
