If you really take the time to think about it, it makes perfect sense why God is a Spirit and not visible. If Father was visible, it would kind of ruin free will and worshipping Him out of love and respect. If everyone saw God, they would just worship Him. However, this worship wouldn't be by true love, but rather by submission. Not only that, but there would be no faith. Serving God when He is unseen truly tests our heart and obedience. To live in a world full of evil, but willingly choose to reject those things, in order to love and serve your Creator, in which you cannot see (although He can be heard, felt and dwell within you). THAT'S the love that Father is looking for, from His creation. THAT separates the haves from the have nots. To add, although everything around us is a sign of God's existence, Father gave us two representations of Him. In the heavens, we have air. Cannot be seen, but is heard and felt and without it, all life would cease to exist. In the earth itself, we have water. Clear, with no shape and without water, all life would cease to exist. Therefore God is speaking to all of us and these are a testament that it is God Who gives life to all and without Him, life does not exist, for He is Life.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Acts 17:24-28 KJV
24) God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25) Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26) And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27) That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28) For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
2 Corinthians 6:14-16 KJV (To those who have the Holy Ghost)
14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16)And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Glory be to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!!!
