How would you answer the question, “What is God like?” Here’s the answer we’ll explore in this article:
Let’s walk through this answer:
When you say the word “God,” different people think of different things. One might think of “God” as a bearded person living somewhere in the sky. Others think of “God” as more of a life force than a person, like the Force in Star Wars. But the Bible reveals a different concept of God—one who is perfect and is unique among the world’s religions. The Bible is God’s Word; it’s made up of many books written by different people, but they all fit together to tell one big story that God guided. These writings reveal what God is actually like by telling us things that God has said and done.
But how can we know what God is like? After all, over and over again, the Bible says that God is “holy” (meaning “set apart”). This means God is not like anyone or anything else. In so many ways, he’s not like us. For example, we humans were born and will someday die—but not so with God. We are stuck in moment-by-moment time; God isn’t. We humans change a lot over time; God doesn’t. So, it might seem that God would be hard to understand since he is so great and we are so limited.
