Although we cannot see, God existed before time itself
Colossians 1:15-16 NLT
Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—........
What a blessing to know that although I have never seen God in person, his Spirit lives within me.... the same Spirit that existed before time itself. This is awesome power!!!
