God is the Supreme Being Who made all things. He doesn't look like anything. He is pure Spirit.

The question "Who is God?" is a good question. It is better than asking "What is God?" This is because God exists, created us, loves us, is concerned for our being, desires to provide for us, and sent the Son to redeem us. If we were to ask "What is God?" we might be tempted to say that God is the infinite being, the creator, a presence, or something like that. In some respect, this would be true. But the first question brings us closer to understanding more of who God really is in His character and His love for us as revealed in the Bible.
The Bible teaches us that in all existence, from all eternity, there has been and always will be only one God. God was never created, is completely loving, completely just, completely holy, completely merciful, and that He desires the best for us. God is holy and He can have nothing to do with sin as the Bible says, "His eyes are too pure to look upon evil," (Hab. 1:13). This does not mean that God cannot see what someone does that is wrong. It is a way of describing how holy God is. God cannot sin. He is perfect.
In Christianity, God is a Trinity. This means that God is three persons, not three gods. Technically, the doctrine of the Trinity states that in the one God is the person of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is not the same person as the other; yet there are not three gods but one. This is similar in analogy to the nature of time. Time is past, present, and future. The past is not the same as the present, which is not the same as the future. But, there are not three times. There is only one thing called time.
The reason the word "person" is used in describing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is because each exhibits attributes of personhood -- not in a body of flesh and bones, but in personality. In other words, each has a will, loves, speaks, is aware of others, communicates with others, etc. These are attributes of personhood and we see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit each demonstrate these qualities.
Because of the Trinity, God can become flesh in the form of the Son, and still exist in such a way so that He can run the universe. Therefore, the Son can communicate to us on our level.
Following are a couple verses that hint at the Trinity.
Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
2 Cor. 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."
The Bible says there is only one God: "I am the Lord, and there is no other;
Besides Me there is no God," (Isaiah 45:5). Yet, the Bible teaches that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each called God.
Below is a very brief chart that shows that each of the persons in the Trinity share the same attributes that only God shares. But remember, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each have wills, and speak, etc. Therefore, we say there are are three persons.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

you'll know soon enough, hahaha j/k
According to the bible God likes many things but to know what he looks like is not done in most mainstream religions today because the 2nd commandment forbids it.
The answer lies in your heart what God has done for you is the same as what have you done for God?
To give and expect nothing return except the feeling that you have done good is the essence of Gods love

You have asked a wonderful question that is really hard to answer for me but I will try..
He is the creator of you and everything(trees, cars, animals, everyone you know etc) around you. He has no beginning and no end. he is an infinite being that man has tried to understand but cannot (unless he allows them to) because man is finite. we have a beginning and an end.
I cannot give you a description what he looks like but if you look at a cute puppy ,a laughing child, a smile from your parents, a hug from a friend, a kiss from your grandma, he is there. In my opinion he looks like happiness, joy, love, all these sweet emotions plus more.
He likes to see all of the above mentioned emotions. He loves peace, no sinning, no violence, and no wars. He loves brotherly love (not gay) i.e. he wants us to be our brother’s keeper. He loves to see people that are trying to keep each other on the right track. God is the beginning and the end.

god is a construct by ancient peoples to explain the things that couldn't be explained at the time. As we became more knowledgeable about the world around us and the universe, the god construct lost its shine.. unfortunately, people still don't want to let go of their little security blanky.

God is THE most high, the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega.....no one knows what he looks like, because we cannot look upon him....we would be blind. and God loves us all...even the rude atheists that are answering your question. and God wants us to follow him, and love him. He is a wonderful and awesome God..... May God bless you Noah. :)

God, isn't human. No looks. Just a thing/ a spirit, I guess. No one really knows Anything at all about him for sure. How do we know a "God" even exsists? No one can prove or disprove it. It's only what you personally choose to believe.
