The Bible says that God is spirit (John 4:24), and is not flesh and blood (Matt. 16:17).
However, His characteristics are those of a living, personal, individual Being. These include the following:
* He lives (John 5:26). * He loves (John 3:16; Rom. 5:6-11). * He speaks (Matt. 3:17) * He works (John 5:17,20) * He knows (Matt. 6:8,32) * He wills (Matt. 7:21) * He sees (Matt. 6:4,6,18)
God is not just an impersonal force, nor does He need a physical body in order to possess personal characteristics. God is spirit, not material or physical, and yet He possesses the characteristics of a personal individual.
