To obtain God is the ultimate in the personal journey. To obtain eternal life and endless expansion of potential we must learn to live by the laws of faith. Not only that but also to constantly look through the "lens" of faith and not judge events and the world around us with our physical eyes.
Your eyes will deceive but the lessons learned of an individuals private faith cannot. That is where God is. When one leads his life according to the "lens" of faith he/she will recognize that God has been showing himself to them all along and leading them. God is recognized through this "lens."
I am going to answer your question slightly differently -
(a) When the tax man collects your taxes - does he come and knock on your door for his share, is it taken through your wages or you pay it directly - no tax man ever knocks your door unless you break the law.
(b) When the government provides you with infrastructure, security, amenities - no official from the government knocks your door and says - there you go Mr Joe Bloggs we are from the government heres what we're gonna give you, instead it is just there and you take advantage of it.
In a very similar way God does not need to be directly in front of us for us to believe. HE has already provided us with guidance in the from of Prophets and Holy books (Torah, Injeel (bible), and the last of which is Quran). It is now up to you the individual to choose the path that you take.
All the best.
God shows Himself all the time. You're just not looking.
The kingdom of Heaven is within you. Re-read Genesis 1:26.
The real you is a child of God. Let that part wake up and you'll see what I mean.
Listen to that quiet, still voice within (the true self) -- not the loud, rowdy one (ego).

If God is like a light switch in a dark room, why is it so hard to show it to a non-believer?This appeared in a forum post recently:"They are led to stand before the doorstep of a dark room ~ and encouraged to discover if there is any light-switch ('God') inside it. The only way to find out ~...

Do you believe non-religious people, who lead a good life, are still going to hell?One of my biggest frustrations with religion is the idea that, how you live your life is of no consequence if you do not accept god. For example, John Smith is a good christian man who helps people, obeys the law and...

Why do do many believers assume......that someone is an atheist because they never looked for god? Why assume anything about a non believer without taking the time to ask? Many many atheists are Diener believers, even former clergy members. How arrogant is it to...

Why do we have faith in God during times of fear or loss?There are certain times that we start to gain faith in God, like times of loss or fear...Why is that? Is it telling us something?

Sometimes we should get tired of avoiding debate.It is my well learned understanding that Atheists just cannot operate on faith. Now sometimes Atheists get upset at that suggestion. They should not in my opine. They should just agree and take it from there.I cannot evaluate and analyze anything...

Why do Christians feel the need to tell us about their religious beliefs?I don't have a problem with Christianity or any religion for that matter, but I view religion/spirituality as a personal and privvate matter and feel that it's best kept that way unless one is specifically asked to expand on...
