Does the Lord God have a gender like human beings do?
According to the Bible, God created “man” in His image — not “people” collectively.
Genesis 1:27 (NKJV) says:
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
Here, “man” refers to humanity, but initially, God created Adam first (Genesis 2:7). Adam was created male, and later, Eve was formed from Adam’s rib (Genesis 2:21–22).
This shows that the original human — Adam — reflected the full image of God.
Adam, being male, bore traits of God’s nature.
However, God is not a human being. He is Spirit (John 4:24) and does not have a biological body or gender in the way humans do.
Human gender involves physical differences (like reproductive organs), which do not apply to God.
Instead, Scripture consistently reveals that God has masculine characteristics. His nature is presented through roles like Father, King, and Husband — roles culturally and biblically associated with leadership, authority, protection, and provision.
“In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.”
“For your Maker is your husband, The Lord of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.”
“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Nowhere in Scripture does God take on a feminine identity. Although both male and female humans are created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), God’s self-revelation remains consistently masculine throughout the Bible.
Additionally, it’s important to understand that the terms “Father” and “Husband” are relational descriptions. They express God’s covenant relationship with His people, emphasizing His love, protection, authority, and provision.
Thus, while God transcends human biology, His revealed character is male-oriented.

If not, don’t delay. We are living in the final days. Jesus could return at any moment, as the Bible warns in Matthew 24:44 (NKJV):
“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
When the final trumpet sounds, where will you stand?
Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of God’s eternal Kingdom.
