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 have heard but now I see
65-1127E §60
Now we've heard that in the last days that the Son of man will come among His people and reveal Himself to the people in the same way that He did just before the destruction of Sodom. The Son of man, what did He do? He knowed the secrets that was in Sarah's heart. Also give the promise to Abraham. Abraham had heard God's voice, he might have seen Him in many different ways (I don't know how He talked to him, through dreams or through prophecies), but this time he saw Him. "I've heard of You, now I see You." And the...
We have seen His star and have come to worship Him
63-1216 §25
God is our great cupola. God is the ... He is the great refiner's furnace, that where He has to put these things upon us, and trials, and persecutions and things, to mold it together to make our testimony ring for a certain time, and a certain note that He wants rang out in a certain day. We're made different. We're all made different. We see different. But we all see one thing, that's Jesus Christ. Let's look at Him. And the only way you can see Him... If He looks contrary to this Word, you're not looking at Him,...
The uncertain sound
55-0731 §19
"There is a way too, that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is the ways of death." It's a little off the subject, but I want to dwell on that just a moment, pertaining to a certain person, that I might just take in my mind, a mythical person, and name it Mrs. John Doe. This Mrs. John Doe, when she was brought up in church, she was a fine woman. She loved God. Oh, she went to church with her mother. She was taught to do what was right. Now, God give us more of those old-fashioned mothers that'll teach th...
Show us the Father
61-0521 §28
...rnoon, would you like to see God? Would you like to really see this One that we're talking about? Could He be seen? We spoke on that the first night here. But I'm going to show four different ways that we can see God. Now I'm going to speak on four subjects right quick. God in his universe, God in his Word, God in his Son, God in his people. And maybe by that we'll be able to find what is God, where He is. Is He gone on? Was He something that once lived and now has passed away? No, sir. He said, "I will never leave...
Earnestly contending for the faith
55-0123E §13
When He was here upon the earth, He'd taken no name upon Himself. The Bible said that He didn't. "He made of Himself no reputation." Many times I've thought this: the man that made the false plate for teeth made a reputation in them. But the man who made the real teeth made of Himself no reputation. The man that made an artificial leg made a reputation for himself, but the man who made the real leg made of Himself no reputation, see. He just stripped Himself, and come down to save you and me, to heal you and me. Th...
