What is the significance of Christ not manifesting Himself to the world?

Answered in 1 source

Christ does not manifest Himself to the world because they do not love Him or keep His words.

The distinction between those who know Christ and those who do not is foundational in the Gospel of John. Jesus explicitly states that the world cannot receive or know Him because it does not love or obey His word (John 14:21-24). This separation underscores the truth that genuine knowledge and experience of Christ are reserved for those who are in a covenant relationship with Him. It highlights the sovereign grace of God in revealing Himself to the elect while leaving others in their spiritual blindness. This provides a profound understanding of divine election and the necessity of grace for salvation.
