Hello and Welcome to The Gathering, Daughters of the Living King, where women seek to know and experience the love of Christ. I am your host, Judy Killebrew, and my experience and passion is in encouraging and empowering women and their walk of Faith With the Lord. Hebrews 10:25 states “and let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”
Today we are discussing El Roi, the God who sees you.
At the beginning of John’s gospel, he wrote that no one has ever seen God. But John explains that Jesus showed what God is like in John 1:18. Let’s read what the scripture says, “For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.”
Through Jesus we see that God is love. Jesus made this clear by giving his life to save people from sin. He did this so that they could be saved from death and share life with God for eternity. And He did this because God loves people.
When we believe that Jesus is Godʼs Son, the Holy Spirit lives inside of us. This means that Godʼs love is inside of each one of us. John wrote again in 1 John 4:12 “No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”
So even though no one has ever seen God, believers can show others what God is like. We can do this because we have Godʼs love inside of us. And when we show love to others, Godʼs love is made complete in us. Godʼs love is complete and fulfilled and perfect. That is the kind of love that believers depend on and share with others. There is no hate, and nothing to be afraid of in that kind of agape and unconditional love.
