What does God look like?
Verses like Deuteronomy 4:15-19 note that God can appear like a mountain of fire and differs from idols that are designed to look like human beings. John 4:24 boldly states “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” 1 Timothy 1:17 refers to him as the “the King eternal, immortal, invisible.”
What does the Bible say about the appearance of God?
Answer: God is a spirit (John 4:24), and so His appearance is not like anything we can describe. Exodus 33:20 tells us, “You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” As sinful human beings, we are incapable of seeing God in all His glory.
Why doesn’t the world know God’s appearance?
The Bible also notes that in the future, there will be a time when God’s children do discover God’s appearance: “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
Why can’t we speak of God?
God is like some things, that’s why the Bible speaks of His likeness or appearance. And when Ezekiel talks, he says, “He was, as it were, in the appearance or likeness of a man.” In other words, “It’s sort of like this.” We also cannot speak of God because He’s incomprehensible in other than negative terms.
