In a world that emphasizes “seeing is believing,” many people assume that
what cannot be seen does not exist.
But is that really true?
In fact, many of the things we rely on and believe in every day cannot be seen with our physical eyes, yet they profoundly affect our lives.
We cannot see the wind, but we can feel its power.
The wind moves ships, turns windmills, brings cool breezes, and can even form hurricanes that reshape the land.
We know the wind exists not because we see it, but because we see its effects.
We cannot see electricity either.
No one truly “sees” electricity flowing through wires, yet when lights turn on, phones charge, and medical machines begin to operate, we know electricity is real.
We confirm its existence by the results of its work.
Air is the same.
Air is invisible and untouchable, yet we cannot live without it for even a single moment.
If air did not exist, we would not be able to take our next breath.
What about love?
Anatomy can dissect the heart, the liver, and the brain, but it cannot find an organ called “love.”
Yet no one denies the existence of love simply because it cannot be dissected.
Love is revealed through actions—sacrifice, patience, giving, and protection.
We may not see love, but we can see the change it brings.
In the same way, the soul cannot be proven by anatomy.
Human beings are not merely machines made of flesh and blood.
We think, we feel guilt, we long for eternity, and we ask, “What is the meaning of my life?”
These cannot be explained by cellular reactions alone.
Consider another image:
a fetus in the mother’s womb perceives a very limited world.
If you asked, “What is the world outside like?”
the fetus could not comprehend sunlight, stars, oceans, or mountains.
Yet the outside world does not cease to exist simply because the fetus cannot yet understand it.
Likewise, we who live in this life cannot see the world after death with our eyes.
But that does not prove that “death is the end.”
Just as a fetus cannot deny the world after birth, we cannot use our limited understanding to deny the existence of eternity.
What if heaven and hell truly exist?
What if life does not end here, but continues into another eternal beginning?
Then an important question stands before us:
If you were to leave this world today, where would you go?
The Bible tells us that although God is invisible to the human eye,
He reveals His existence through the world He created, the order of life, the human conscience, and the love of Jesus Christ.
God does not ask us to believe blindly,
but invites us—just as we recognize the wind by its effects and electricity by its power—
to know the God who is unseen, yet truly present.
Invisible does not mean nonexistent.
The most important question is not whether you can see right now,
but rather—
Are you willing to open your heart and come to know the God who has been seeking you all along?
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” —Romans 1:20
