WHAT COLOR IS GOD?

Nancy Louise Ranks

Have you ever asked your parents or maybe your Sunday School teacher what color God is? Two young Haitian sisters, who were friends of mine, wondered about this. Since people come in all different colors, they wondered about God's color. One Sunday they asked their Sunday School teacher, "What color is God?"

For several weeks their class had been studying what the Bible says about God's creation of the world and everything in it, including man. The first part of the very first book of the Bible, named Genesis, tells about this.

Each Sunday my friends read a few verses from the beginning of Genesis and discussed them with their teacher. Again and again it says that everything God created was good (see Gen. 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, 31). Once, the class looked up synonyms for the word good. It can mean pure, perfect, genuine, real, or excellent.
