We will see God face to face

  We will see God face to face

The writer of Hebrews states,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.  

         This is what the ancients were commended for.” Hebrews 11:1,2.

People ask why do you believe in an unseen God? My answer is because nothing else makes sense. Voltaire wrote,

“To believe in God is impossible 

not to believe in Him is absurd.”

                                                       Voltaire

We may not be able to see God but we can see his handiwork everywhere. The Psalmist stating,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands."

                                                              Psalm 19:1.

Think of this. Scientist tell us that the earth we live on is in the “Goldilocks zone”. The perfect place in the universe for life as we know it to exist. This to me tells me that God created the universe and all that is in it. That He place everything from the smallest subatomic particle to the greatest galaxy and everything in it, in just the right place for us to exist.

To think the universe simply formed randomly without a creator for me is absurd. I believe in what the apostle Paul wrote,

"For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known." 1 Corinthians 13:12.

In this life we may only see God through “a mirror dimly”. But ultimately whether we believe in God or not, we will one day see God face to face.

Please think about it. 

Dimly

  Dimly.

The apostle Paul writes,

“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:12.

Faith it seems can be strange at times. The writer of Hebrews states,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for

 and certain of what we do not see.”  

                                                      Hebrews 11:1.

Faith can be like looking into the fog. You know an object is there but you can only see it faintly. 

That’s what the apostle Paul was saying. We know that God exists. We also know that He sent His one and Only Son Christ Jesus to die for our sins. Yet at this moment in our life. At this moment in time. We only see God as a dim reflection in a mirror.

Jesus speaking to Thomas said,

"Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:19.

Our faith should not necessarily be based on what we can see, feel, or hear. Our faith should be based on the evidence of God that is all around us.

The perfectly designed universe for example tells us that God exists.

Robert Brault wrote,

"God left so many fingerprints at the scene of Creation that you wonder — does He want to be found, or does He want to be stopped?" Robert Brault.

Do you have faith that God exists?

Please think about it.
