John 1:9-12, 18

The true Light that gives light to all was coming into the world! The Word was in the world, and the world was made by him, but the world did not know him. He came to the world that was his own, but his own people did not accept him. But to all who did accept him and believe in him he gave the right to become children of God.

No one has ever seen God. But God the only Son is very close to the Father, and he has shown us what God is like.
