The post explores the concept of Jesus Christ as the perfect reflection of the invisible God and His glory. Unlike Adam who was a partial representation, Jesus perfectly embodied the essential nature and attributes of God, being a full expression of God’s wisdom, righteousness, and omnipotence. It discusses Christ as humanity’s pathway to understanding the unknowable God. Jesus, the ‘Second Adam’, is presented as the bridge between God’s invisible presence and man’s visible existence. The post reinforces that only through faith can the invisible God become visible.

The Flood of the Devil Versus the Blood of Christ
A flood of destruction of all kinds has been coming against God’s Church lately, because the Devil is attempting to overwhelm and conquer it. Yet this flood is no match for the shed blood of Christ. When the standard-bearer was sent out in ancient times of war, he’d always begin by smiting the enemy. Our…
The Proven Hope and Answer to Every Problem Is Jesus
Why do many Christians today find themselves tormented with crisis situations involving fear, guilt, or unrest? They’re failing to rest in what Jesus has already accomplished on the Cross for them. He detects every aspect of all our dilemmas along with all the problems of life crowding in on us. Therefore, if we are afraid,…
Religion Never Gives Hope Like Jesus
If you’re trying to get through a time of trouble, don’t bother turning to manmade laws, routines or, especially, “religion” for help. “Religion” spares man the effort of thinking spiritual matters through and checking them out, which is a lazy spiritual condition or attitude. But there’s no basis in the Bible for an attitude like…
Seek Joy, Not Happiness
God created us so we could live a life that pleases Him. The life of man relates to God because “…in Him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28). This responsibility is not a difficult one. If we’ll just live for God, who knows what marvelous things might happen in our life…
God’s Provision
Let’s take a look at the book of Numbers: “And the people spake against God and said unto Moses…there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread [manna]” (Numbers 21:5). What were they doing? “Murmuring and complaining.” Obviously, God didn’t like that, because He sent fiery serpents that bit the people and many…
By Faith the Righteous Will Triumph
The final end of the wicked and the righteous will be quite different. The Lord has made upright people righteous (right in His eyes) by blotting their sins out and pouring new life into their heart by His Holy Spirit. The Lord’s grace will assist them continually, until they’re finally brought into His kingdom, and…
The Grace of God Enables True Love and Joy
We all start out in life as strangers to God and His grace. “Grace” means God’s goodness granted to undeserving people. As we begin to experience God’s loving mercy, we’re able to learn to trust Him more each day to see us through all our trials. Then His grace will be able to shine forth…
Our Faith, Our Heart, His Love
Do you know what makes somebody stand out before God? Some think it’s money, some intellect, some power, etc. But none of these are what God primarily notices in us—it’s our heart He’s looking at. Every one of us starts out as a lost sinner, yet God still loves us. But we can’t make it…
Release God’s Power and Find True Help from Trouble
If we are believers in God, then we’ll certainly meet difficulties in our life that we don’t know how to handle. What can we do about them? Looking to man to help us will serve no purpose, because our real source of help comes from God alone. “Give us help from trouble: for vain is…
Changing Your Destiny for Eternity
God has a destiny for our life that He wants us to carry out, but each of us will determine the details of how we’ll do it. What we’ve decided to believe, along with the way we behave now, will ultimately decide our destiny for all of eternity. There isn’t any other human being who…
We Need to Hear the Voice of the Shepherd
Sheep know which flock they belong to, and which shepherd is their shepherd. Over time, they link the sound of the voice of the shepherd with the benefits he provides for them. Whenever they hear that voice, they’ll respond at once, knowing that he’s their own master. They aren’t content until they recognize their master’s…
