Can people see God's glory?

Answered in 1 source

While we cannot see God's face, we can perceive His glory through His manifestations and in Christ.

According to scripture, no man can look directly at God and live, which underscores the holiness and majesty of God. In Exodus 33, God assures Moses that he can only see His back parts, indicating that a full revelation of God's glory is beyond mortal comprehension. However, Christians are promised that they will see God in eternity, and presently, we behold His glory through the person of Jesus Christ. As the New Testament illustrates, Jesus is the image of the invisible God, allowing us to understand and experience God's glory in a way that is approachable for us.
