The Reality of Seeing God |
Isaiah
6:1-5 – 1 In
the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high
and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above
him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their
faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3
And they were calling to one another: “Holy,
holy, holy is the Lord
Almighty; 5 “Woe
to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I
live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord
Almighty.” Job
19:25-27 – 25 I
know that my Redeemer lives,
Matthew
5:8 – Hebrews
12:14 – God
calls for the undivided interests of the men whom He has chosen. Only the
pure in heart shall see God. This seeing God in a clear spiritual light
is salvation to the soul of the believer. As soon as a soul decides to
die to self, the new light begins, and grows stronger and stronger until
he is able to endure the seeing of Him who is invisible. And as man sees
God, he becomes fashioned in character after the divine similitude. His
words, his spirit, his attitude, his actions in everything, testify to
the clearness of his judgment. In proportion to his views of God will be
his spiritual force of character; and the consecration to God of his
life, his time, his powers, is the result.
