God has no body; he is a spirit.
God is not a physical being and is not limited by matter, size, shape, or location. As a pure spirit, God exists beyond the limitations of the material universe that He created. Because God is spirit, He is present everywhere and is not confined to any particular place. Sometimes Scripture speaks of Gods "hand" or "face", but these descriptions are figurative language that help human beings understand something about Gods actions and presence. The fact that God is spirit does not make Him distant or unreal. Rather, it means that He is infinitely greater than anything in creation. In Jesus Christ, God the Son took on a true human nature and a real human body, but the divine nature itself remains spiritual. Understanding that God is spirit helps us recognise His transcendence while also appreciating His closeness to all who seek Him.
God is neither man nor woman: he is God. God transcends human fatherhood and motherhood, though he is their origin and standard. God is pure spirit in which there is no place for the differences between the sexes.
John 4:24
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
