God Attribute, 180

~ Revealed ~

 

This Series ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction ~ God has revealed Himself to mankind, First God revealed Himself as Creator by General Revelation – His creation all around us.

 

Second, God has revealed Himself to us by Special Revelation – the Word of God, the Biblical record of His interaction with individuals, and the testimony of millions.

 

God spoke to Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:8-19), to Abraham (Genesis 12, 13, 15, 17), and to Moses (Exodus 3). Other examples include Jonah speaking to the Ninevites, Gabriel speaking to Mary (Luke 1:26-38) and Zacharias (Luke 1:8-20), and Simeon hearing from the Holy Spirit that He would not die.

 

And perhaps most importantly for us is the Word of God (The Holy Bible) available in many printed and digital forms.  

 

Scripture (General Revelation) ~ “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:18-20).

 

Scripture (Special Revelation) ~ “For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account” (Hebrews 4:12-13).

 

Comment ~ Consider the following (courtesy of Just Give Me Jesus).

 

If Adam knew God as a beloved Father,
if Eve knew Him as the original Homemaker,
if Noah knew Him as the Refuge from the storm,
if Abraham knew Him as a Friend,
if Moses knew Him as the Redeemer,
if Rahab knew Him as the gracious Savior,
if David knew Him as his Shepherd,
if Elijah knew Him as the Almighty,
if Daniel knew Him as the Lion Tamer,
if Mary Magdalene knew Him as the Bondage Breaker,

if Martha knew Him as the Promise Keeper,
if Lazarus knew Him as the Resurrection and the Life,

if Bartimaeus knew Him as the Light of the World,
if John knew Him as the glorious King upon the throne,
then surely you and I can know Him too! 

 

Questions ~ Do you know Jesus as your personal Savior? If not, why not?
