Drawing Near to God

“No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught of God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.” – John 6:44-45

Larson For many people, a relationship with God who is invisible is an incredible, if not seemingly impossible concept to grasp. “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Timothy 1:17). Since we are accustomed to using our senses (e.g., seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, tasting) to confirm what is real, it can be challenging indeed to believe in an invisible God. “No man has seen God at any time” save the Son Jesus Christ (John 1:18; 6:46). Man has seen God in human form (Gen. 32:30; Exodus 24:9-10; 33:11; Judges 13:22), but never in the fullness of His glory and power. We cannot see God nor attempt to observe Him with a powerful telescope that observes far into the Universe. Yet, even though God is unseen, let us be assured that God is ever present and aware of everything (Psalm 139:1-10). The Scriptures teach us that the glory of the invisible God is unapproachable. Like the sun who provides needed light, God’s glory is too intensely bright and brilliant to look upon: “... He who is blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords; who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen” (1 Tim 6:15-16). Moses desired to see God’s glory to which God replied: “You cannot see my face” (Exodus 22:18-20).
