How Do You See God?

How do you see God? One of the essential parts of your life is how you see God. I have talked to many people in my years of ministry, and people have many different gods. Some people refer to God as “the man upstairs.” Let me be very straightforward; God is not just some ordinary person or a man upstairs looking down at everybody here on earth.

In Matthew chapter 6, we see that Jesus started what is known as “The Lord’s Prayer” by saying, “Our Father.” The God we serve wants to relate to you as a Father relates to a child. Without any hesitation, I can tell that the most critical thing in this lifetime is to have a real relationship with the one and only real God. There is no one like our God; he is a Holy God and should be seen and related differently than anything or anyone else.

If we are to relate to the real God that is Holy, then we too must be holy. In 1 Peter 1:15-16, the disciples wrote: “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” That means we must remove any invisible barriers in life and see God for who He is, for who you are, and for others.

We serve a God so Holy that He sent Jesus Christ to die for our sins and raised Jesus from the dead to prove that we can have a real relationship with a real God that will last for eternity through Him. Amen!
