The Bible doesn’t tell us what God looks like—because

he is invisible. And the reason we can’t see him is because he is

a spiritual being—that is, he has no body or face or other physical

form. That doesn’t mean he isn’t real, because he is. But he is far

greater than anything we can imagine.

Billy Graham, PREACHER

It’s not easy to trust in

a God you can’t see. That’s

why so many want God

to prove himself so we can

trust him. In reality, God

wants us to trust him so he

can prove himself.

Craig Groeschel, AUTHOR

OF HOPE IN THE DARK:

BELIEVING GOD IS GOOD

WHEN LIFE IS NOT

Yes and no. Yes, God is a spirit, one not normally detectable by our

senses. Perhaps something like ‘dark matter,’ the main substance of the

universe, which surrounds us though we can’t see it, but God may

sometimes choose to take on a visible form, as with Moses and the burning

bush. More, God took on a human form in the person of Jesus and now

wants us, Jesus’ followers, to ‘make God visible’ by our love and service.

Philip Yancey, AUTHOR OF REACHING FOR THE INVISIBLE GOD

Every visible and invisible creature is...a divine appearance.

Johannes Scotus Eriugena, IRISH THEOLOGIAN, PHILOSOPHER AND POET
