The Dual Characteristics of God
How can we know the nature of God, who is an invisible being? In Rom. 1:20, we read, "Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." In other words, just as the work of an artist is a visible manifestation of its maker's own invisible nature, so we can perceive God's deity by carefully observing the world of His creation.
