How Does God Reveal Himself

How Does God Reveal Himself

Creation reveals God (Roman 1:20) (Psalm 8:3-4)

His humanity (Act 17:26-28)

History reveals God – man perceives that God hides (Isa 59:2), Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen 19:28).  He intervened in the affairs of great powers, such as, Egypt, Nineveh, Babylon, and Persia.

Heb 1:1-2 and John 1:10 and Matt. 23:37

God revealed Himself in many different ways, but people did not want to see even the little part that they did see.

Thru the Bible in Ex. 3:14; Isa. 45:5,21; Isa. 55:8; John 8:12; John 10:9; John 14:6; Isa. 44:24; Isa. 46:9-10.

The Bible is about God and humanity’s relationship to Him.  The image humans must ultimately conform to is that of Jesus Christ (Roman 8:29).
