What does the Bible say about Jesus manifesting Himself to believers?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that Jesus manifests Himself to those who love Him and keep His words, distinguishing them from the world.
In John 14:22-27, Judas, not Iscariot, asks how Jesus will manifest Himself to the disciples and not to the world. Jesus responds by explaining that those who love Him will keep His commandments, and in turn, He and the Father will manifest themselves to him. This reveals a key distinction; believers are those who love Christ, whereas 'the world' refers to those who do not obey or believe in Him. The act of Christ manifesting Himself is inherently linked to the love a believer has for Him, which is a work of grace because it's based on His previous love. This manifestation is both a relational and spiritual reality for God's elect.
