No one has ever seen God. The one and only Son the One who is at the Father's side He has revealed Him-John 1:18
I have been reading through the Gospels and in John 1:18, John writes that Jesus reveals to us God who is unseen. Jesus's revelation of the Father is unique. Those who saw Jesus, saw not a shadow of God but God Himself. He was truly the God-man, in whom one nature did not eliminate the other. Below I have listed characteristics of God which I have learned from Jesus in John's Gospel.
