God is a Germanic name for deified reference ("reverence") to the unitary concept of deity —most commonly described as an intelligent consciousness of infinite spiritual substance that underlies or permeates through the whole natural and physical universe, and is therefore said to be both its "creator and ruler." As the supreme deity, God is worshipped, and "his" favour is courted by believers, who claim to have a direct or mediated relationship with "him." As such, separate cultures have developed distinct and particular concepts of faith and worship, which are the foundations for the world's various ethnic-traditional belief systems. In the Western World and in areas influenced by it, ther term God is referred to as the God of the Abrahamic religions.

God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; The Eternal, The Absolute. The One and Only. The knower of visible and invisible, Most beneficent, Most Merciful, The Sovereign, Source of Peace, The Protector, The Guardian, The Hearer, The Seer, The Creator, Provider, The Self-Sufficient, The Majestic, The High, The Great.
He is God, The First: Nothing is before Him, The Last: Nothing is After Him, The Most High: Nothing is Above Him, The Most Near: Nothing is beyond His Reach.
"Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtle, the Aware." (QURAN 6: 102)
Such Is God
"God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; slumber does not seize him nor does sleep; to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him, except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is after them, but they do not comprehend anything of His knowledge, except what He will. His Throne extends over the heavens and earth, and their guarding does not strain Him; and He is the High, the Great." (QURAN 2:255)
God, who is Perfect in every manner and aspect. He begets not, nor is He begotten. He is not Created nor Sustained. Yet He Creates and Sustains all that there is in existence. His Creation is not a part of Him. God is not now, nor was He ever in His Creation. And there does not exist in His Creation anything like unto Him. He is Unique,
He is God—the Creator, the Maker, and the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. Quran 59: 24

It will depends on your thinking about creation. Well God is the creator to the heaven and the earth. here are some major explanation about God. This is a source thinking from a booklet entitled What does God required of us. taking from www.watchtower.org.
Lesson 2
Who Is God?
Who is the true God, and what is his name? (1, 2)
What sort of body does he have? (3)
What are his outstanding qualities? (4)
Should we use images and symbols in our worship of him? (5)
What are two ways we can learn about God? (6)
1. People worship many things. But the Bible tells us that there is only one TRUE God. He created everything in heaven and on earth. Because he gave us life, he is the only One we should worship.-1 Corinthians 8:5, 6; Revelation 4:11.
2. God has many titles but has only one name. That name is JEHOVAH. In most Bibles, God's name has been removed and has been replaced with the titles LORD or GOD. But when the Bible was written, the name Jehovah appeared in it some 7,000 times!-Exodus 3:15; Psalm 83:18.
3. Jehovah has a body, but it is not like ours. "God is a Spirit," says the Bible. (John 4:24) A spirit is a form of life that is much higher than ours. No human has ever seen God. Jehovah lives in heaven, but he can see all things. (Psalm 11:4, 5; John 1:18) What, though, is the holy spirit? It is not a person like God. Rather, it is God's active force.-Psalm 104:30.
4. The Bible reveals Jehovah's personality to us. It shows that his outstanding qualities are love, justice, wisdom, and power. (Deuteronomy 32:4; Job 12:13; Isaiah 40:26; 1 John 4:8) The Bible tells us that he is also merciful, kind, forgiving, generous, and patient. We, like obedient children, should try to imitate him.-Ephesians 5:1, 2.
5. Should we bow down or pray to images, pictures, or symbols in our worship? No! (Exodus 20:4, 5) Jehovah says that we must worship only him. He will not share his glory with anyone or anything else. Images have no power to help us.-Psalm 115:4-8; Isaiah 42:8.
6. How can we get to know God better? One way is by observing the things he has created and thinking deeply about what they tell us. God's creations show us that he has great power and wisdom. We see his love in all that he has made. (Psalm 19:1-6; Romans 1:20) Another way we can learn about God is by studying the Bible. In it he tells us much more about the kind of God he is. He also tells us about his purpose and what he wants us to do.-Amos 3:7; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish but will have an eternal life, isnt that amazing?

He's the greatest drug dealer in history....the opiate to the masses. A delusion needed to cushion our blow to objective reality...the reality that we all face utter doom and annihilation...with no afterlife and no redemption....
