"We can't see God because it's easy for you to see somebody and believe he or she is real. God wants us to be strong and not see but still believe and for us to have faith in him."
God is said to be the one “who alone possesses unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see” (I Timothy 6:16). We read about “the King, eternal, immortal, invisible” (I Timothy 1:17), “seeing Him who is unseen” (Hebrews 11:27). There is a reference to “His invisible attributes” (Romans 1:20).
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8). "This verse means people that go all out, not halfway, will see God," says Matthew, age 9.
We are reminded here that not only does God hide his face from us sometimes, but God also hid his face from his own Son.
It does not mean that God is not working on our prayers. Trust God is working all things together for your good, even if you don't see it or feel it, Romans 8:28 NLT.
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
1 John 4:12, “No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us.” Exodus 33:20, “He [God] said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live. '”
The experiences of prophets who saw God face-to-face are recorded in Genesis 32:30; Exodus 33:11; Ether 12:38–39; Moses 7:2–4; Abraham 3:11; and Joseph Smith—History 1:15–17.
Though Church teaching, in line with its Doctors, holds that God has no literal sex because God possesses no body (a prerequisite of sex), classical and scriptural understanding states that God should be referred to (in most contexts) as masculine by analogy.
Psalm 13 1
Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
Any change in our nature wouldn't help us see God, because it would take a change in His (invisible) nature. God the Son, Jesus, is different. At the incarnation, Jesus took on human flesh and He became the God/man. That is the reason why you will be able to see Jesus and not the Father.
In the Bible, St. Paul (Saul of Tarsus) was struck blind by a light from heaven. Three days later his vision was restored by a "laying on of hands." The circumstances surrounding his blindness represent an important episode in the history of religion.
God looks like nothing we could comprehend
According to Got Questions, the Bible refers to God as something that people can't fully understand. For example, John 4:24 says God is a spirit, and as Exodus 33:20 points out, “You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”
A uniquely Christian perspective on the image of God is that Jesus Christ is the fullest and most complete example of a human in God's image. Hebrews 1 refers to him as "the very image of his substance" and Colossians reveals Jesus as "the image of the invisible God".
The Bible says, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account” (Hebrews 4:13). Think about that a moment.
Yahweh, name for the God of the Israelites, representing the biblical pronunciation of “YHWH,” the Hebrew name revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus. The name YHWH, consisting of the sequence of consonants Yod, Heh, Waw, and Heh, is known as the tetragrammaton.
You may have felt like your sins are too serious or that you have made the same mistake too many times. But no matter how much we have sinned, we can always repent and be forgiven. Some sins may be easier to correct than others, but Jesus Christ has provided for total forgiveness from all sins. He is eager to forgive.
However, Classical western philosophy states that God should be referred to (in most contexts) as masculine by analogy; the reason being God's relationship with the world as begetter of the world and revelation (i.e. analogous to an active instead of receptive role in sexual intercourse).
God has revealed himself to us in the glory of creation, in the perfection of the written word, and in the personal experience of all who seek him.
Moshe (Moses) asks God “Show me your glory.” God responds that He cannot be seen by any human being. But, God tells Moshe, “Stand in the cleft of the rock” and “you will see My back, but My face must not be seen.” (Exodus 33: 17-23) What does this mean?
Angels see, and so do believers in heaven.
For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 18:10). Angels see the face of God. They are spirits. They do not have eyeballs or retinas, but they see the face of God.
2 Corinthians 4:18 Amplified Bible (AMP)
So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.
Matthew 5:14-16 New Living Translation (NLT)
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.
“From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind” (Psalm 33:13). Like Proverbs 15:3 explains, “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” God is keeping an eye on everyone.
