God is partially revealed, and partially hidden. You cannot see God. You cannot carry on an audible, two-way conversation with God. Yet, you know He is there. He does not answer every prayer in our way, and at times, all humans experience some form of doubt of God’s existence. The veil between heaven and earth cannot be penetrated at this time, so we as spatial, physical, and visual creatures, certainly are not seeing all of God at this time. God is partially revealed, and God is partially hidden. But why? Why has God chosen this approach to His creation? God partially reveals Himself, so that those who want a relationship with Him, can know enough about His existence that they can surely walk with Him in faith, and know Him as Creator. Christianity isn’t founded on blind faith, it is founded on faith in evidence. God reveals enough of Himself to us, that we know He is real. Yet He remains partially hidden. God partially hides Himself for just the opposite reason. A lot of people hate any idea of God. A lot of people do not like to hear about God. God partially hides Himself so that those who despise His knowledge, and His existence, will be able to foster and fabricate just enough doubt, that they may actually deny that God exists. In the “Great Assize”, God will remove this veil and live together with saved humanity. Those who have chosen to live apart from God will have their wishes as well.
