Who is God according to the Bible?

The term “God” is derived from the concept of a “Creator” or “Maker.” By that logic, if a person creates a car, that person becomes the “god” of that car—its designer and origin.

Likewise, if a human being creates a car, then there must be a higher Being who created that human. That supreme Being is what we call “God of all gods.” He is the ultimate source, beyond human origin or understanding.

Just as a car cannot comprehend the life, origin, or essence of its creator, neither can we, as human beings, fully comprehend the One who created us. The car cannot know when or where its maker was born, or how they live—no matter how advanced the car might be. In the same way, human beings cannot fully analyze or define God. Trying to do so would only lead us to confusion, distance from the truth, or even spiritual loss—because God’s existence transcends our comprehension.

Who, Then, Is This God?

He is not a man, though He created man in His image. He exists in a higher, spiritual realm called Heaven. While He possesses attributes similar to ours—eyes, ears, a voice—He does not depend on anything to exist. Unlike us:

• He has a nose but does not need to breathe.

• He has eyes but doesn’t need light to see.

• He lives but does not need food or water to survive. Everything that sustains us was created by Him—but He Himself is sustained by nothing. He is the source of all life, intelligence, and existence.

This is why we cannot reduce God to human terms. He is not a product of our logic or science. Just as a robot cannot understand the full nature of its maker, we, too, cannot define or explain God in His fullness.

Yet despite this divine superiority…

God Did Not Create Us as Robots

God did not create us to function mechanically or blindly. He created us as His children—beings with choice, emotion, purpose, and the capacity to love and be loved. He longs for a relationship with us, one built on love, trust, and obedience.

He gave us principles—His divine laws—to guide us through life and lead us to peace, success, and eternal life. But knowing that human effort alone would not be enough, He made the greatest act of love:

He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to the world—so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).

Jesus Christ—The Only Way to God

Jesus is not just a prophet, teacher, or moral figure—He is the Son of God, given all authority in heaven and on earth. He is the bridge between humanity and divinity. Without Him, there is no access to the Father.

John 14:6 – “Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”

No religious system, good works, or moral efforts can substitute the redemptive power of Jesus. He paid the price for our sins with His own blood, offering salvation freely to anyone who believes, repents, and follows Him.

The Condition: Faith, Repentance, and Holiness

It is not enough to just “know about” Jesus. One must:

• Believe in Him wholeheartedly.

• Repent of all known sins.

• Be washed clean through His blood.

• Live in holiness and obedience.

Hebrews 12:14 – “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.”

The Choice Is Yours

Do you desire to see the Father in Heaven one day?

If yes—have you made the decision to place your faith in Jesus Christ? Have you surrendered your life, confessed your sins, and begun a journey of holiness?

If you have, then you carry the living hope of meeting God face to face. But if you reject or ignore this gift, the Bible clearly states that you will not see God.

May the Lord bless you and give you the wisdom to seek Him while He may be found.
