God the Father is a Spirit. No one has ever seen God the Father because he is a Spirit. Jesus Christ is the physical manifestation of God. This is why Jesus said to Philip, "He that has seen me has seen the Father" John 14:9. This is also why God sees ALL THINGS in his Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is God's new Adam and the representative of the human race. All that we will ever know about God is in Jesus Christ. Paul said that Jesus Christ is, "The image of the invisible God, the first born of every creature" Colossians 1:15.
God broke into the human race in the person of Jesus Christ. His mission was to provide salvation for everyone that wants to be saved, Hebrews 2:9. He didn't come into the world to show us the way, He came into the world to be the way, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one can come to the Father, but by me" John 14:6.
When Jesus lived, we lived in him. When Jesus died, we died with him, when Jesus arose from the dead, we arose with him. When Jesus ascended into heaven, we ascended into heaven with him, Romans 6:3-14. Christ acceptance into heaven is our acceptance, we are accepted in him, Ephesians 1:6.
The work of Christ is a finished work. We have been MADE complete in him, Colossians 2:10. We cannot be any better than what we have ALREADY been MADE in Jesus Christ. Trying to do so through works, laws and religion is a denial of the Gospel and is under the judgment of God. "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, didn't we?" Matthew 7:22. Only to hear, "Depart from me, I never knew you" Matthew 7:23.
Jesus has ALREADY reconciled us and the whole world unto God the Father, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. This is one of the most important scriptures in the Bible. If this scripture is true then all religions and isms are worthless. If Jesus has ALREADY reconciled us and the world unto God, then why are you striving to be good enough to be saved? Salvation is a rest from religion, "For he that has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works (religion) as God did from his" Hebrews 4:10.
Jesus has ALREADY full filled all of the demands of God's Holy Law, Romans 10:4. Having full filled the law, he abolished it, Ephesians 2:15. God's people are no longer subject to laws, rules or religion, because "The just shall live by faith" Romans 1:17. We live by faith in Christ and his Gospel. To be under the law is to be under the curse, Galatians 3:10.
Jesus has ALREADY atoned for our sins and the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2. When Jesus died on the cross all of humanity died with him because our humanity was constituted in him. Sin, death and the devil have been defeated and Jesus is Lord. Proof that Jesus has defeated sin, death and the devil is that Jesus now sits in heaven as, "The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords" Revelation 19:16.
