What does God look like?

God the Father gave His Son Jesus a human body. (Hebrews 10: 5)

God Himself sits on a throne with Jesus at His right hand. (Ephesians 1: 23)

God the Father is described as having a face (Exodus 33:11), eyes (Psalm 32: 8b;

Psalm 34: 15), ears (Psalm 116: 2), a mouth (Deuteronomy 8: 3), hands (Psalm 8:6), arms (Psalm 44:3), fingers (Psalm 8: 3), and back parts (Exodus 33: 23); and feet, if He has a footstool (Isaiah 66: 1).

God created everything by speaking His Word.

Genesis 1: 1 – 25 lists the order of creation.

God has the ability to create life and gave us that ability. He used the Word to activate them.

He had dominion over the works of his hands, which were created through his word. And he gave that dominion to mankind.

Then he turned all creation over to us for our use while we established that dominion.

Because of the Fall, satan stole our dominion. At the Resurrection, Jesus, the second Adam, recovered and restored the dominion to the Body of Christ; not to all men, but to the born again who are in Christ Jesus.

God made His covenant by speaking His Word. The power of our own words is identical to the power in the Words of God.

Man made in the image of God is a SPIRIT.

John 4: 24  God is SPIRIT , and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Luke 23: 46  And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.’ ” Having said this, He breathed His last.

Man has a SOUL.

Psalm 103: 1 A Psalm Of David. Bless the LORD, O my SOUL; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Psalm 116: 7  Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

He lives in the BODY.

Psalm 139: 15 – 16  My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.

Genesis 2: 25  And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

The SPIRIT is our connection with heaven and our BODY is our connection with the earth. Our SOUL is the animation of the two together. The word SOUL is “anima” in Latin. In Greek, “psuche” or “psyche.” In all translations the word SOUL means the life or life force.

1^st Thessalonians 5: 23  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 4: 12  For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
