Give Live Examples of How the Invisible Things of Him… Are Clearly Seen, Being Understood by the Things That Are Made?
Yes. The Bible says the invisible things of God are clearly seen by the things that are made. If you look around with open eyes, creation is preaching a sermon.
- One sun—threefold manifestation: We have one sun above us. From that one sun comes light to see, heat to live, and power to quicken growth. It’s not three suns—just one with a threefold expression. So is God: one God revealed as Father (above us), in the Son (made visible among us), and as the Holy Spirit (felt in us). Scripture ties the witness of the heavens to God’s glory and even calls Christ the Sun of righteousness (Psalm 19:1–6; Malachi 4:2; John 1:9). You see, one source, three operations—yet one.
- A seed dying and rising: Every spring your garden preaches resurrection. The seed goes into the ground, dies to itself, and then comes up in new life. Jesus used that to show His death and resurrection and ours (John 12:24; 1 Corinthians 15:36–38). What you plant isn’t the body that shall be, but God gives it a body. Nature makes it plain.
- Natural birth and the new birth: A baby comes by water, blood, and breath (spirit). The Scripture says we must be born of water and Spirit, and bears witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood (John 3:5–8; 1 John 5:6–8). Natural birth is the picture; new birth is the reality.
- The wind: You can’t see the wind, but you see the trees bow and you feel its touch. Jesus said that is how the Spirit works—unseen, but His effects are undeniable (John 3:8). Invisible power, visible results.
- Vine and branches: Life is in the vine; the same life flows into the branches and bears fruit. Cut off a branch and it withers. Jesus said, “I am the vine, you are the branches” (John 15:1–5). The unseen life of Christ produces visible fruit in a believer.
- Sowing and reaping—after its kind: In creation, every seed brings forth after its kind (Genesis 1:11–12). Paul says you reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7). Jesus said, “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:16–20). The moral law is stamped into the natural order—cause, kind, and consequence.
- Marriage and Christ’s love: A husband laying down his life for his wife, and a wife honoring her husband, is an earthly sign of the heavenly mystery—Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:25–32). The visible covenant in a home mirrors the invisible covenant of redemption.
- Rain and the Word: Rain falls, waters the earth, and never returns without making it bud and bring forth. God says His Word works the same way—it accomplishes what He sends it to do (Isaiah 55:10–11). The water cycle is a daily parable of God’s faithful Word.
- The order and upholding of all things: Planets keep their paths; atoms hold together by forces you cannot see. The Bible says by Him all things consist and He upholds all things by the word of His power (Colossians 1:17; Hebrews 1:3). Unseen order, seen stability.
- The rainbow of promise: After the storm comes the bow in the cloud. God set it as a sign of His covenant mercy (Genesis 9:12–16). The visible arc reminds us of the invisible faithfulness of God.
- The pull that draws: Drop a magnet among filings—certain pieces leap to it. Jesus said, “No man can come to Me, except the Father which has sent Me draw him” (John 6:44). An unseen drawing produces a visible coming.
- Conscience in the heart: Even where no written law exists, people know right from wrong, their thoughts accusing or excusing them. That inner witness shows the work of the Lawgiver (Romans 2:14–15). The unseen law on the heart shows there is a Judge.
Now notice, if there were no Maker, why does every seed keep its law—after its kind? Who wrote that code? Why does the same sun that hardens clay melt wax? That’s how the same Gospel softens one heart and hardens another. You see, the invisible God left His fingerprints on everything He made.
Direct answer: Creation is God’s living classroom. His power, wisdom, order, life, love, faithfulness, resurrection, and Spirit are clearly seen in what He made.
Scripture: Romans 1:20 anchors it; the examples are witnessed by Psalm 19; Malachi 4:2; John 1, 3, 12, 15; 1 Corinthians 15; Genesis 1, 9; Isaiah 55; Galatians 6; Matthew 7; Ephesians 5; Colossians 1; Hebrews 1; Romans 2.
Simple logic: Unseen causes produce seen effects. Nature’s fixed laws, cycles, and patterns are not accidents; they are parables. One source, threefold operations; a seed that dies and rises; wind you can’t see but you can feel; a vine’s life proving itself in fruit—these speak aloud what eyes can’t see.
So open your eyes: the visible world is God’s testimony board. The invisible things of Him are clearly seen.

What does He mean by the "word of His patience?" Hebrews 6:13-15. "For when God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He sware by Himself, saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise." You see the Spirit is speaking about the Word of God which is given to us. To wait for the fulfillment of that Word required patience even as it did in the case of Abraham. He endured as seeing Him Who is invi...

"I was in the Spirit." Isn't that just beautiful? My, I love that. You could just call those words, "The whole of the Christian life." If we are going to live as Christians, we have to be in HIS Spirit. John was not talking about being in his own spirit. That would not have brought these visions. It had to be the Spirit of God. It has to be the Spirit of God with us, too, or all our efforts are in vain. Paul said, "I will pray in the Spirit, I will sing in the Spirit, I will live in the Spirit." If there is anythin...
Seals 1: God hiding and revealing Himself in simplicity

So it pleases God to reveal Himself and then hide Himself; then hide Himself and reveal Himself in simple little things. It's put over the top of the head of man because... If you'd say, "Why would a just God do that?" It's because that man was made up in the beginning not to try to shift for himself. A man was made to rely completely upon God. That's the reason we're likened unto lambs or sheep. A sheep cannot lead himself; he has to have a leader. And the Holy Spirit is supposed to lead us. So man is made that wa...
