Q:

2. How do we know what God is like when we can’t see him?

A:

We can’t see God, because God is a spirit. He doesn’t have a physical body like we do. God knew that it would be hard for us to understand exactly what he is like. So he came up with a wonderful way for us to know him. God, the Father, sent his Son, Jesus, to be born as a baby in Bethlehem. Jesus grew up and lived as a man—a very special, kind, perfect man. We can be sure that when we learn what Jesus is like, we will know what God is like. Jesus is just like God, his Father in heaven. In fact, Jesus is God! Jesus shows us exactly what God is like!

No one has ever seen God. But his only Son, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart; he has told us about him.
