Revelation of God

The Revelation of God refers to the ways in which God has made Himself known to humanity, primarily through creation, scripture, and the person of Jesus Christ. It encompasses both general revelation, which is available to all people, and special revelation, which is specific to God's chosen people.

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