Good day, dear students, and welcome back to class! Today, we will be exploring an exciting and important topic: the Invisible Spirit of God. Understanding that God is an invisible spirit is essential because it helps us know how God is always with us, even though we cannot see Him with our eyes. Our lesson objectives for today include:
Objectives
- Understanding that God is an invisible spirit.
- Recognizing His power.
- Learning how this truth affects our daily lives.
The Invisible Spirit of God
What does it mean to be invisible? When we say something is invisible, we mean that it cannot be seen with our eyes. For example, we cannot see the wind, but we can feel it when it blows and see its effects on the trees and leaves. Similarly, God’s spirit is invisible, but we can feel His presence and see the effects of His work in our lives and the world around us.
Biblical Definition and Explanation
In the Bible, God is described as a spirit. This means that He does not have a physical body like humans. Let’s read what the Bible says about this in John 4:24:
“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” – John 4:24
This verse tells us that God is a spirit, which means He is not bound by a physical form.
The Invisible Spirit in Genesis
The book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, introduces us to God as the creator of everything. Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Even though we cannot see God, we can see the wonderful things He has made. The beautiful sky, the vast oceans, and the diverse animals all show us the work of our invisible God.
All-Powerful God
Understanding God’s Power
Being all-powerful means that God can do anything. He is not limited by anything, and there is nothing too difficult for Him. This is known as being omnipotent. An excellent example of God’s power is in John 4:26, where Jesus reveals His divine nature by stating,
“Then Jesus declared, ‘I, the one speaking to you—I am he.'” – John 4:26
Examples of God’s Power
Some of the examples of God’s power include:
- Creation: As we mentioned earlier, God created the entire universe from nothing. This act alone shows His immense power.
- Miracles: Throughout the Bible, God performs many miracles. For instance, He parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to escape from Egypt (Exodus 14:21-22). This miracle demonstrated His control over nature.
- Jesus’ Resurrection: The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the ultimate proof of God’s power over life and death (Matthew 28:5-6).
Memory Verse
Let’s remember a special verse from today’s lesson:
“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth” – John 4:24
Why Is This Important?
Knowing God is Always With Us
Even though we cannot see God, knowing that He is a spirit and all-powerful reassures us that He is always with us. This knowledge helps us trust Him more and feel comforted, especially when we face difficult times.
Worshiping God in Spirit and Truth
Understanding that God is a spirit teaches us how to worship Him. We do not need to see Him to pray or sing praises to Him. We worship Him with our hearts and minds, sincerely and truthfully.
Engagement
Let’s think about this: Have you ever felt scared and then remembered that God is with you, even though you cannot see Him? How did that make you feel? When we remember that God is always with us, we can feel braver and more confident.
Conclusion
To wrap up today’s lesson, we learned that God is an invisible spirit, which means He does not have a physical body, but He is always with us. We also learned that God is all-powerful and can do anything. These truths help us trust and worship Him better. Remember our memory verse: “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth” (John 4:24).
