I Know God Because He Reveals Himself to me

Revelation of God – Natural
Revelation of God – Special
Revelation of God - Responsibility

There is much you can learn about God in nature. You can learn that he is a great God who made things in a most orderly and beautiful way. You can learn that he is the preserver and governor of all things. He is a God who is in control. You can see how gracious God is to all men. But you will admit that natural revelation does not explain how sinful man is and how he can be saved from his sinfulness. This is why a gracious God reveals himself to you through special Revelation – which is the Word of God. In God’s special revelation you can learn who you are…more details of who God is…and specifically… what God did to save you from your sins. How Jesus was took on human flesh and was born of a Virgin. How he lived and died for you and your sins were counted as his when he died on the cross. No Bible, no salvation. Know Bible, know salvation.

Brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ: Are you daily learning God’s natural and special revelation so you can learn how to worship him better…and praise him for his greatness and his goodness? This takes effort to do…so work at it. Don’t read you Bible on Sunday alone… Read it everyday. Think about it. Meditate on it. And in the business of life, take the time to look at the beauty of the world. Instead of some simply video games…or songs that have no meaning…wouldn’t it be better to watch the stars, or a beautiful sunset…or a lovely snowfall…and then praise God for it?
