“For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse. For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened.” (Romans 1:20–21, HCSB)

A God who is invisible, but seen. God is seen through His creation. Walt Disney cannot be seen. But his creation (Mickey Mouse) reveals him. Sam Walton is dead. But his creation (Walmart) can be seen. Unlike these men, God is not dead. He is eternal. However, His attributes work the same way. You know how God is by looking at what and who He created. Look at the original creation (animals and the Earth) and you know that the Creator, God exists.

Today, this truth is the same. A God who is invisible, but seen. He is seen through His children. People can know God by seeing how He works through people in life. God’s goodness, kindness, compassion, love, and joy all are invisible qualities of God that are seen in the lives of God’s people.  When I see the work of God in a Christian, I can hear their testimony. Their testimony is proof of God’s existence. God is real, though He is invisible.

A God who is invisible, but seen. He is seen through both creation and His children. As a result, those who don’t know God have no excuse to ignore His message of salvation. The reason is that God who is invisible is seen when we worship Him.
