What does God look like?

John 14:9 says "Jesus said to him, Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Selwyn Hughes once said that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the best photograph ever taken of God. The Father has shown Himself to the world in the person of Jesus Christ. Such love, compassion, mercy, forgiveness, grace. The Father is truely extravagant.

...a Living God

When Jesus Christ taught us that God was 'our Father in Heaven', and loved us dearly as His children, the religious world was turned on its head. Jesus revealed that God was not some lifeless idol or mythical representation made up by man, but that He was 'the living God' who hears prayer and answers. He showed us that God is aware of even our smallest need, and desires for all men to come to Him believing in His care and provision.
