Person no fit ever see God because God na Spirit. E get sense and e get power pass any other person. (John 1:18; 4:24) Na true say we no fit see God, but all the things wey e don make de help us know the kind person wey God be. For example, the different-different food wey we de enjoy and the different-different flower wey we de see show say God get sense and e love us. The way heaven and earth big de show say God get power.​—Read Romans 1:20.

We fit still learn other things about God when we de read Bible. For example, Bible de teach us wetin God like and wetin God no like. E still de teach us wetin God de do when people do good things or bad things.​—Read Psalm 103:7-10.
