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.

I wish to read just a verse tonight out of II Corinthians the fourth chapter, the eighteenth verse: While we look not at the things which are seen. And my subject tonight is "Looking At The Unseen." We are told that we have an outward man and a inward man. And the outward man looks by his eyes. And the inward man walks by faith. So we have to be led by one of these two persons: Outside, outward man, is self; inward man is God. You see, we do not see with our eyes, though many times we have thought that we see with...

And the old fisherman, as he pulled his boat, the little lad sitting in the stern of the boat, noticed tears running down over his grayed beard. And he got enthused, and he ran up forward to the middle of the boat, and he fell down by the old fisherman's lap, and he said, "Sir, I want to ask you a question that seemingly the pastor, Sunday school teacher, my mother, or nobody can answer me. The God that made that rainbow, and the God that made all things that are, could any man see Him?" And the old fisherman, over...

Now, not the way He was dressed, because all the Easterners dressed the same. He could been a Greek; he could been an Egyptian; he could been many things. But Jesus said, "He's an Israelite. And he's honest, and is no guile in him." He said, "How did You know it?" He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." That was Jesus yesterday. If He's the same today, and dwelling in us, when He promised He would, and will make known to this man... He might be here for financial troubles. He m...

Now, the way He made Hisself known to the Jew and Gentile, that He was... Now, they said, "What are you going to kill Him for?" He said, "Because that He is a man, making Himself God." He was both God and man. God was the inside man, Jesus was the outside man. Jesus said, "I do nothing in Myself, but what I see My Father doing." Anyone knows that. "What the Father shows Me, that's what I do."

I want you, when you go home, to read the entire chapter of these Colossians. But I want you to read this morning with me from the 15th verse, 29th inclusive.
