90 Facts About God

The Lord desires that we would see Him (John 17:24)

But He dwells in unapproachable light (1Tim. 6:16)

  

We see Him in part (1Cor. 13:12)

He has made us after His image (Gen. 1:26) so we know a little of what He might look like

These instances of seeing Him through (descriptions of His person in the Word) should not be understood as describing exactly what God looks like, but rather as God revealing Himself to us in a way that we can understand. Exactly what God looks like is beyond our capability of understanding and describing.
