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.

Show us the Father and it will suffice us
62-0722 §30
And now notice how God lives in the flower, how He lives in the leaves on the tree; how they'll drop off, go down---the sap will---into the roots, some intelligence controlling it; going down in the roots to hide through the winter, come back again in the spring, bringing forth fruit, and so forth. How does it do it? Beyond my knowing. What ... there's got to be an intelligence somewhere that controls it. It can't do it itself. There's nothing'll say to that peach tree out there, that pear tree, "Say, it's coming o...
I have heard but now I see
65-1127E §72
In that crucial moment... Think of the men and the people that I'm acquainted with. God bypassing all the celebrities and everything, to give a poor little ol' humble woman, can't hardly sign her own name ... and He knowed that what she'd ask for. And that was the greatest thing; for her sister is now dead, and her mother and father has to die, the money would've perished, but the souls of her boy is eternal! And that was the hour for them to catch it. And just as soon as I said, "I give you your boys, in the name...
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever
61-0205E §34
Now if He's been so real to us, and we have seen his mercy and seen what He was, now ... and we're under expectations tonight of seeing Him, then why can't we see Him? I tell you, He's everywhere, if you just look around. The trouble of it is that people don't look around enough to find Him. We live on the Ohio River, and, oh, it's a great place for fishing. There was a little boy in our city that used to play down at the river with an old fisherman. And he asked his mother one day (they belonged to a great church...
Seals 1: God hiding and revealing Himself in simplicity
63-0317M §83
There's not a person in the world will tell that ... or can say that "We don't see with us the very Word of God made manifest" ---the very promise of the last days, the very evening lights that was to shine. We are a privileged people to see that. And where the high-polished world ... it's hid from them. Jesus said to God, the Father, He said, "It pleased you to hide it from them. Even so, Father, you have hid it. Let them with their wisdom..." You see, it was wisdom that started the ball rolling in the muck of sin...
The testimony of a true witness
61-1105 §37
And it goes to show that it was made by a great supreme intelligence to serve a purpose. It's here for a purpose. God did not have to make trees like that. He made them like that---though they differ one from another, and so forth---He made all of that for His purpose, to give witness and to give testimony. He could have made trees like something that would've been something else, like rocks. He could have made trees any way He wanted to. He could have made flowers any way He wanted to. But He made them to bear wit...
