The title of this devotional is “The Visible God,” but the image above (from the Hymn we all sing) claims God is invisible. Are we quoting the Bible wrong? Have we found a contradiction in it? Or maybe our Theology is weak?
Actually, none of the above, as our devotional will note God in His divine form has never been visible, Exodus 3:1-4:17, that is until Christ chose to take on the form of man Philippians 2:7.
Having a basic understanding of this, being able to articulate this at least on a basic level, is what the Apostle Peter was saying in 1 Peter 3:15. This requires believers to be steadfast in their walk with God. We must continually fight the good fight to stay on the narrow path of truth and wisdom.
DEVOTION

“[Christ] is the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15).
In Christ, the invisible God became visible.

PRAYER

Pray for Grace to Keep you in the Way of Truth
To lead me into and keep me in the way of truth; and if in anything I am in error, to rectify my mistake.
Let the Spirit of truth guide me into all truth, John 16:13(ESV) and make me understand how I have gone astray. Job 6:24(ESV)
Teach me what I do not see; Job 34:32(ESV) and enable me to test everything, so as to hold fast to what is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21(ESV)
Lord, grant that I may not be as a child, tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning; rather, speaking the truth in love, may I grow up in every way into Christ, who is the head. Ephesians 4:14-15(ESV)
Lord, give me so to do your will, as that I may know that the teaching is from God; John 7:17(ESV) and so to know the truth, as that the truth may set me free, John 8:32(ESV) may set me free indeed. John 8:36(ESV)
Enable me, I pray, to follow the pattern of sound words that I have heard in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 1:13(ESV) and to continue in what I have learned and have firmly believed. 2 Timothy 3:14(ESV)
