God's Revelation

God's revelation refers to the ways in which God has made Himself known to humanity, primarily through Scripture, creation, and the person of Jesus Christ. It encompasses both general revelation (available to all) and special revelation (specific to believers).

Throughout biblical history, God has revealed Himself progressively, beginning with creation and culminating in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. This revelation is foundational for understanding God's nature, will, and plan for salvation.
