Have you ever asked this question or had a co-worker do so: “If God
is real, why doesn’t He show Himself? Have you ever made this
statement or had a co-worker say it, I only believe what I can
sense with my five senses. And the big promise, ”If God would
show Himself to me, I would believe!
God did show Himself. He looked and listened all through history and
heard every question, statement, and promise. He choose the right time
for these appearances. The Bible is where most of these visits are
recorded.
In the Old Testament God walked with Adam in the garden.
He appeared to Abraham as one of the three men. Genesis 18:6 about 2067 B.C.
He appeared to Joshua as the Commander of the Host of Heaven in Joshua 5:14 about 1406 B.C.
He appeared to the Three Hebrews, King Nebuchadnezzar and those around them as the Son of God in Daniel 3:25 about 585 B.C.believe
And there were more possible sightings under dispute. But you get the idea.

Then He made His grand appearance as Jesus Christ which is recorded
in the New Testament. Some say Jesus never claimed to be God or the
Son of God, but in John 10:22-33 and 14:9 Jesus made it plain who He
was. There are other scriptures to back this up. You can look these
up yourself.
The Bible tells of His purpose to reveal Himself and the Father God. And He promised to fill us with the Holy Spirit. He did this by offering Himself as a sin offering for the world, for all of us who desire to see Him. Now, the GOOD NEWS, He is coming back to show Himself again and to gather all those who saw and believed and to those who have believed without seeing. John 20:29

Now I know some of you are thinking,” Can we believe the Bible?”
This is a discussion for another time. But if you are having
trouble, the Bible states that evidence was put in nature so that no
one will have an excuse, Romans 1:20. Now some are saying that
science and evolution can explain nature. This also is for discussion
for a later date.
But will you be assured before His return? What will you tell Him
when He asks why you did not believe after He gave so much for you to
know God? Will telling Him you still have questions be enough?
I encourage you to seek Him with your heart. Haven't you been in
darkness along enough?
Search for yourselves and determine in your heart that you will believe if He reveals Himself to you. The Internet is wide open for study. I can point you in the way, let me know. Thank You.
