Podcasts about General revelation

The sermon presents a comprehensive exploration of God's general revelation, emphasizing that all humanity, regardless of time or location, receives a true but limited knowledge of God through the created universe. Drawing from Psalm 19 and Romans 1, it affirms that the heavens and the natural world continuously declare God's glory, power, and divine nature without using human language, making His existence and attributes evident to every person. This revelation is sufficient to render every individual accountable before God, leaving no excuse for ignorance or idolatry, as all have access to the evidence of a Creator through creation itself. However, while general revelation establishes moral and spiritual obligation, it is insufficient for salvation, which requires the special revelation of God found in Scripture and the person of Christ. The sermon concludes by underscoring that God's design in general revelation is not to save, but to make all people responsible for seeking and honoring the true God.

Psalm 19

SEGMENT 1 • Our church is currently without any qualified men to lead worship. Is it sinful for a woman to step into the role of worship leader? - Austin SEGMENT 2 • When Jesus taught in parables, was he teaching allegorically? - Chuck • Would you recommend Tim Challies' book “Season of Sorrow” to a family who is grieving a loss but are not believers? - Matt • Paul makes clear in Romans that everyone, deep down, has knowledge that God exists. When there are, for example, unreached Amazonian tribes that worship a sun-god, will they be punished for worshiping the wrong god, although they acknowledge that a god exists? - Steven SEGMENT 3 • Are Christians obligated to stay in, or return to, a marriage where physical abuse has occurred? - Anonymous SEGMENT 4 • The pastor of a church we are interested in joining doesn't seem very interested in evangelism or growing the church body. What should we do? - Michael ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Sam Marr will answer a question about general revelation. Is belief in God's general revelation enough to be saved? How does God get special revelation to those who only have general revelation? Is God always just? Is God big enough? – Please listen, and

Luke 9:18–20 (ESV) Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.” Matthew 16:13–17 (ESV) Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. What Is Revelation?General Revelation: disclosure of truth through nature, history, and the human conscience. Supernatural Revelation: the uncovering through the spirit.2 Kings 6:15–17 (ESV) When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.Why Is Revelation Necessary?General Revelation Leads To OpinionsAnd they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.”Jesus Impact Is Obvious - General Revelation/Opinions:Religion: Christianity, the religion founded on the teachings of Jesus, is the largest religion in the world, with approximately 2.3 billion adherents, making up nearly one-third of the global population.Global Recognition: Jesus is recognized not only in Christianity but also in other religions like Islam, where he is regarded as a prophet. This highlights his broader historical and cultural impact across different belief systems.Art and Literature: Jesus has been a central figure in Western art, literature, and music for centuries. Countless works in these fields have been inspired by his life and teachings, including masterpieces by artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.Holidays and Festivals: Christmas and Easter, two of the most widely celebrated holidays globally, commemorate Jesus's birth and resurrection, respectively, highlighting his cultural significance.Influence on Laws and Ethics: Many modern legal systems and ethical frameworks are influenced by Christian values derived from Jesus's teachings, such as the emphasis on compassion, forgiveness, and the sanctity of life.Social Movements: Jesus's teachings on love, justice, and equality have inspired numerous social movements, including the abolition of slavery, civil rights movements, and contemporary social justice efforts.Phrases and Sayings: Many common phrases in English and other languages stem from Jesus's teachings (e.g., "turn the other cheek," "the Good Samaritan"), demonstrating his impact on language and moral discourse.Education and Healthcare: Many universities, hospitals, and charitable organizations were founded by Christians inspired by Jesus's teachings, which have had a lasting positive effect on society.Continued Relevance: His teachings and parables are referenced in diverse contexts, from philosophy and ethics to psychology and conflict resolution. Many people across various cultures find relevance in his messages, irrespective of religious beliefs.A Supernatural Revelation Is Necessary To Know GodJohn 6:44 (ESV) No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.1 Corinthians 2:14 (ESV) The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.How Does Revelation Happen? Proverbs 20:27 (ESV) The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.Genesis 1:2 (ESV) The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.John 12:32 (ESV) And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”John 14:26 (ESV) But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.Revelation ≠ Response1 Corinthians 9:27 (ESV) But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.James 2:17 (ESV) So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.Romans 10:9 (ESV) because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.Revelation 20:12, 15 (ESV) And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done… And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

This is the fourth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. How can we know the God we seek to defend? In this lesson, we explore the doctrine of revelation—God's gracious self-disclosure to humanity. You will learn the crucial distinction between general revelation, seen in creation and providence, and special revelation, given through Scripture and ultimately in Jesus Christ. This lesson lays a foundation for understanding why divine revelation is necessary for knowledge, faith, and apologetics. By examining how revelation reveals God's character, will, and redemptive purposes, you will be equipped to uphold the authority of Scripture and the sufficiency of Christ in the face of skepticism and competing truth claims. 01:52 General Revelation 08:50 Special Revelation 21:51 Attributes of Revelation 29:16 The Relationship between General and Special Revelation 31:14 Jesus Christ 33:26 Summary and Conclusion Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul sets the brilliance of the gospel against the dark backdrop of human sin, helping us see just how necessary and glorious it really is.

After a review of the previous material this lecture delves into how to interpret Acts 17 in line with General Revelation. [1 hour 23 minutes]

Systematic Theology 1: Doctrine of God's Revelation 2, General Revelation in Romans 1 - General Revelation in Romans 1 [1 hour 21 minutes]

In this episode, we seek to show how as beautiful as general revelation truly is, it was never going to be enough. We needed God to specially reveal himself, and now that he has revealed himself primarily in Christ, we look to Christ and his word to define all things for us in thought and life.ResourcesThe Wonderful Works of God By Herman BavinckQuotes“When therefore, we review the whole terrain of general revelation, we discover, on the one hand, that it has been of great value and that it has borne rich fruits, and, on the other hand, that mankind has not found God by its light.”“In general revelation such objective teaching is adequate to its purpose. What God intends by it is to provoke man to seek Him, to feel Him out and find Him (Acts 17:27), and, not finding Him, yet be without excuse (Romans 1:20). But in His special revelation God has compassion upon man who strays about and cannot find Him. In it, God seeks man out and Himself tells man who and what He is.” p50“The central content of the special revelation is the person and work of Christ.” p50“Thus the whole revelation of the Old Testament converges upon Christ, not upon a new law, or doctrine, or institution, but upon the person of Christ. A person is the completed revelation of God.”  p77274 - The Beauty of General RevelationConnect With Usprovidenceomaha.orgInstagramFacebookEmail Usformation@providenceomaha.org

(Isaiah 34:16) The Bible is the very Word of God. It is God's special revelation of Himself! The more we seek God in the Scriptures the more we come to know Him personally.  (0974250325) ----more----   What is the Bible? What is the Bible? Where did it come from? How can we be sure that it is accurate? Can it be trusted? And we're gonna deal with some of those questions over the next few episodes, and  The Bible's Divine Foundation I'm very excited about this final section in our study on what the Bible says because we've come to know what the Bible says about the word of God, literally what the Bible says about itself. Now, there are lots of external evidences that the Bible is the word of God. We're gonna talk about some of those, but internally, just read the Bible and the power of scripture will bring great conviction and assurance to your heart that indeed this is God's divine revelation. That it is the perfect revelation of our great God. I'm excited about this section, and I've saved it last, not because it's the least, but because, in fact, it lays a foundation for everything that we believe. All of the great truths we've been talking about for the last several weeks are built on the foundation of the word of God. If you don't have an authority to draw from, then it's just my opinion and your opinion. And this lays a foundation for any other question that might come up. Certainly, this study has not been exhaustive on even the subjects we've discussed, and then there are so many questions that arise in the world we live in today. Where do you find the answers? We believe that the Bible is the very word of the living God and that you can trust the word of God because you can trust the God of the word. Where Did the Word "Bible" Come From? Now the term Bible is an interesting term. Where does it come from? It actually comes from a word that means role or book. Now book. We understand role is a reference to the way an ancient civilization that they would write. I remember many years ago being in Cairo, Egypt, and they gave us a demonstration of how they created papyrus paper. These roles that would oftentimes become scrolls. They took reeds that grew along the Nile River and they would cut them into strips, lay them line up upon line at right angles, and then beat them and press them and polish them. And after they have dried and strengthened and bound together, it created a wonderful paper that could be written on. I remember bringing a sample of that back with me. It was just an idea about what an ancient civilization was done. We take so much for granted in our modern era with all the technology we have to convey writing, I. But in the early days, it was a very expensive and laborious process. Much work went into both writing it and then preserving it. The word Bible literally means a role or a book. It is a library of 66 books that all come together to be divine In fact, this is revelation. It's referred to throughout the word of God as scripture or the word of God. The Bible says in Isaiah 34:16, "16  Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read:" That's powerful, isn't it? This book that we're studying, this book we're talking about is not just any book. This is not man's book. This is literally the book of the Lord. And did you notice that he gave two action verbs? Two things we should do. He says, first, seek and then read. There is here a process. That's what reading is, but there's also heart in it. That's what seeking is. This is more than just something to read like you'd skim the headlines of the newspaper. No, my friend. This is something to read on a heart level. It's something to read with a great passion to know the God of the Bible.  The Bible as God's Revelation The Bible is the finished revelation of God. It is the place where God reveals his person, his work, and his will. For mankind, it is God's record of who he is. And he said to man, write it down. Now, the first mention of such writing is all the way back atf the Old Testament. In fact, in Exodus 24:4, the Bible says, " 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord," We believe that though men were used as instruments of writing the scriptures. That all scripture is given by inspiration of God. That means it has a divine source. It may come to us through many tributaries. It may come through many human penman, but it has one source, and that is, it comes from God. Peter wrote and said that Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, literally as they were born along by the Holy Ghost. In other words, this is a spiritual book because this is a book the Holy Spirit wrote. It is the foundation for everything that we believe. And now I wanna talk to you for just a moment today about the most basic truth about the word of God. And it is this the Bible is God's revelation of himself. The God of the Bible is a God who wants to be known. Is there mystery related to our God? Certainly because there are things we can't fully understand. Comprehend, fathom, we're finite beings. He's an infinite God. And yet how loving and wonderful to know that the God who created the world wanted man to know him. He wanted us to be brought into the knowledge of Him.  General and Special Revelation He began by giving us what we might call general revelation. That's the revelation that everybody on Earth has. It just reveals there is a God. For example, Psalm 19, "1The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard." What does that mean? It means that even the creation. Cries out. There is a God, the sun, the moon, the stars, the birds that fly through the air all are a testament to the fact that there is an all powerful, all wise, all good God that ma not only made the world, but sustains the world. So the creation testifies. Romans chapter one, alludes to this same principle. As a matter of fact, the Bible says in Romans 1:18, "18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;" In other words, they've been given some truth, but they've not responded the right way to it. He goes on to say in verse 19, "19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" In other words, God's made it so that all men have some light, and if they follow the light they have, God will give them more light. So many people reject the light that they've been given. As a matter of fact, Romans chapter one says, A great number of these people begin worshiping and serving the creature instead of the creator. They stop shy of the actual source, which is God himself. So there's general revelation that begins with creation. It also includes man's conscience. Every man has a conscience built into him. The very next chapter in Romans, Romans chapter two, verse 15, says, "15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)" So God gives us creation and conscience to reveal the reality of God. But he goes beyond that in scripture and the word of God. He not only gives general revelation, he gives what we might call special revelation because in scripture we have not only the reality of God. We have the message of redemption from God. Only through the word of God can we come to know how we can have a personal relationship with the creator God of the universe. We're born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible by the word of God, which liveth and abid it forever. General Revelation prepares man for special revelation, but the special revelation of scripture is necessary for any man to have a personal relationship with the creator God. And this revelation, of course, is given in the Bible.  Read Your Bible I wanna encourage you today to spend some time just reading your Bible. Seek ye in the book of the Lord and read. Spend some time today reading the Word of God and say to the God of the word, Lord, I want to know you better, because the Bible is the foundation of our faith. Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough. We must know the biblical reason behind what we believe.  Outro and Resources We hope you will visit us at etj.bible to access our Library of Bible teaching resources, including book-by-book studies of scripture. You'll also find studies to watch, listen to, or read. We are so grateful for those who pray for us, who share the biblical content and for those who invest to help us advance this ministry worldwide. Again, thank you for listening, and we hope you'll join us next time on Enjoying the Journey.

Welcome to another Classical Essentials, a special Best of Basecamp Live series! Over the years, we've had incredible conversations unpacking the foundational ideas of classical Christian education. In this series, we're bringing back some of the most popular and essential episodes to help parents, educators, and school leaders better understand the core principles that make this movement so impactful.Why should Christian students read pagan books? Wouldn't it be safer to stick to Christian authors? Shouldn't we only fill our children's minds with explicitly biblical works? These are common concerns among parents and educators, and in this episode, Dr. Louis Markos offers a compelling answer.Many of history's greatest books—from Homer to Plato to Virgil—were written by pre-Christian authors. Yet, these works wrestle with profound questions about virtue, truth, and human nature—questions that ultimately point to Christ. Rather than being a threat to faith, these books can deepen a student's understanding of God's truth and equip them to engage thoughtfully with today's secular world.

Why doesn't God just reveal Himself? He has! Nate dives into how God has revealed Himself to humanity.

From the Men's Breakfast series: This Book We Call The Bible.How God Reveals Himself in the Written Word(handout here)

"Let us know what you think."General Revelation can draw a seeker to God, but sadly will not save anyone.

Having described God's general revelation thru Creation (v1-6), Ps 19 transitions to God's special revelation thru His Word. Creation reveals God as EL, the Almighty Creator, whereas Scripture reveals God as YAHWEH, the God who brings His people into personal covenant relationship with Himself. Both revelations agree for God created His world by His Word. The written Word is more comprehensive, detailed, clearer & personal. Also, the fall means creation is under curse, so corrupted nature sends mixed signals, so people can misunderstand God's nature, when they see evil in the world. So, we need a clearer revelation of God - His written Word, which is perfect, without error, and extolled in v7-11. Psalm 19:7-9 lists 6 descriptions of God's Word (its nature), followed by 6 things it will accomplish in us if we receive it (its power). (1) “The LAW of the LORD is PERFECT (blameless, inerrant, complete & sufficient revelation of God and His will for our lives, 2Pet 1:3-4, 2Tim 3:16-17), converting (restoring, reviving, imparts new life to) the soul.” (2) “The TESTIMONY (His witness to Himself) of the LORD is SURE (dependable, reliable, firm, Ps 119:89), making wise the simple (imparting wisdom for life to the humble).” (3) “The STATUTES (precepts, instructions) of the LORD are RIGHT (morally right not crooked), rejoicing (imparting joy, peace, blessing & satisfaction to) the heart.” (4) “The COMMANDMENT (not suggestion) of the LORD is PURE (lit: 'radiant') enlightening the eyes (giving illumination for life).” (5) “The FEAR of the LORD (it reveals His majesty, authority & holiness, producing in us the fear of God - Deut 4:10), is CLEAN (free from impurity, making us clean, by imparting the fear of the Lord to us), enduring forever (enabling us to endure forever - 1Pet 1:23-25, 1John 2:17, our unshakable foundation for life).” (6) The JUDGMENTS (verdicts) of the LORD are true and righteous altogether (giving us reliable guidance for our life, to think & act right). In view of its origin, nature and beneficial transforming power, we should value & embrace it above all earthly things, for it is both (1) desirable & (2) enjoyable: “(1) More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold (Prov 3:13-18), (2) sweeter also than honey & the honeycomb (‘honey in the combs'- Prov 16:24)” (v10). It imparts (1) spiritual riches of great value, above all natural possessions, and (2) the sweet grace of God. Honey is pleasant to eat, but God's Word is sweeter still, for it reveals the beauty of the Lord. It provides experiences greater & deeper than the experiences of the senses & the enjoyment of natural things. How much we value it is important, for "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Luke 12:34), and the measure of attention we give His Word determines the measure of blessing we receive (Mark 4:24). His Word can accomplish all the things in v7-10, as it is the Word 'of the LORD' (repeated x6), which reveals the Lord of the Word. Thru His Word we find, meet & know the Lord personally. We come into union with Him by faith, and thereby receive His life, wisdom, blessing, light, strength & cleansing (John 5:39-40). The Lord Himself imparts Himself to us thru His Word, and does great things in our lives. So, if you desire God, desire His Word, not just for its positive impartation of blessing (v10), but also because it reveals & warns us of our sin, bringing repentance & cleansing, for sin separates us from God & His life: “Moreover, by them (God's words) Your servant is warned (of folly, sin & dangers), and in keeping them there is great reward" (v11). God's purpose in revealing Himself to us thru His Word, is that we might come to know Him as our Redeemer & Rock (Strength). Therefore, the 3rd Part of Ps 19 describes our right response to His revelation (v12-14). His Word reveals His perfection and by contrast our sin. He also reveals Himself as our Redeemer from sin, and our Strength, to empower us to walk in righteousness (v14). Sin impedes our fellowship with God, so we must turn from sin, asking for His cleansing (v12,13), and surrender ourselves to God, for Him to fill us with His Spirit & strengthen us to do His will (v14). There are 2 kinds of sin (1) sins of ignorance & (2) deliberate sins. First, David prays about 2 kinds of sins of which he is unaware: “(1) Who can understand his errors? (2) Cleanse me from secret faults" (v12). Even though these are hidden to us, they still darken the soul. He asks God to (1) reveal his errors of thinking & (2) cleanse his sins committed in ignorance. He opens his heart to God's light inviting Him to cleanse him (1John 1:7). Then he prays about his deliberate sins, which must be confessed to God to restore fellowship (1John 1:9): "Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins (wilful sins); let them not have dominion over me (when we yield to our sin-nature, we become enslaved to that sin, so it becomes habitual, increasingly dominating u

Having described God's general revelation thru Creation (v1-6), Ps 19 transitions to God's special revelation thru His Word. Creation reveals God as EL, the Almighty Creator, whereas Scripture reveals God as YAHWEH, the God who brings His people into personal covenant relationship with Himself. Both revelations agree for God created His world by His Word. The written Word is more comprehensive, detailed, clearer & personal. Also, the fall means creation is under curse, so corrupted nature sends mixed signals, so people can misunderstand God's nature, when they see evil in the world. So, we need a clearer revelation of God - His written Word, which is perfect, without error, and extolled in v7-11. Psalm 19:7-9 lists 6 descriptions of God's Word (its nature), followed by 6 things it will accomplish in us if we receive it (its power). (1) “The LAW of the LORD is PERFECT (blameless, inerrant, complete & sufficient revelation of God and His will for our lives, 2Pet 1:3-4, 2Tim 3:16-17), converting (restoring, reviving, imparts new life to) the soul.” (2) “The TESTIMONY (His witness to Himself) of the LORD is SURE (dependable, reliable, firm, Ps 119:89), making wise the simple (imparting wisdom for life to the humble).” (3) “The STATUTES (precepts, instructions) of the LORD are RIGHT (morally right not crooked), rejoicing (imparting joy, peace, blessing & satisfaction to) the heart.” (4) “The COMMANDMENT (not suggestion) of the LORD is PURE (lit: 'radiant') enlightening the eyes (giving illumination for life).” (5) “The FEAR of the LORD (it reveals His majesty, authority & holiness, producing in us the fear of God - Deut 4:10), is CLEAN (free from impurity, making us clean, by imparting the fear of the Lord to us), enduring forever (enabling us to endure forever - 1Pet 1:23-25, 1John 2:17, our unshakable foundation for life).” (6) The JUDGMENTS (verdicts) of the LORD are true and righteous altogether (giving us reliable guidance for our life, to think & act right). In view of its origin, nature and beneficial transforming power, we should value & embrace it above all earthly things, for it is both (1) desirable & (2) enjoyable: “(1) More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold (Prov 3:13-18), (2) sweeter also than honey & the honeycomb (‘honey in the combs'- Prov 16:24)” (v10). It imparts (1) spiritual riches of great value, above all natural possessions, and (2) the sweet grace of God. Honey is pleasant to eat, but God's Word is sweeter still, for it reveals the beauty of the Lord. It provides experiences greater & deeper than the experiences of the senses & the enjoyment of natural things. How much we value it is important, for "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Luke 12:34), and the measure of attention we give His Word determines the measure of blessing we receive (Mark 4:24). His Word can accomplish all the things in v7-10, as it is the Word 'of the LORD' (repeated x6), which reveals the Lord of the Word. Thru His Word we find, meet & know the Lord personally.

Psalm 19 is another Messianic Psalm (in the middle of a cluster of Messianic Psalms). C.S. Lewis wrote: “This Psalm reflects, more than any other, the beauty and splendour of the Hebrew poetry found in the Psalter. I take this to be the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the greatest lyrics in the world.'” It is an important source of the Doctrine of Revelation in the Bible. It is in 3 Parts: (1) God's General Revelation in Creation, a revelation of God's person, power and nature to all people (v1-6), (2) God's Special Revelation of Himself in His written Word (v7-11), and (3) God's purpose in revealing Himself to us and our right response to His Revelation (v12-14). In Part 1 the name of God used is EL - the Almighty Creator, and in Part 2, the name of God used is YAHWEH (x7), His personal Covenant Name, for it is His special revelation that is designed to bring us into a personal covenant relationship to Him. v1-6 describe God's Message in Creation, especially through the heavens: "The heavens declare the glory (splendour) of God; and the firmament (expanse) shows His handiwork (the work of His hands)" (v1). Creation is designed to be a revelation of God, His glory, wisdom, and creative greatness: “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” (Rom 1:20, see also Acts 14;17 and 17:22-28). It tells us: "He is glorious in His size, having created something so big. He is glorious in His engineering, having created something that works together so well. He is glorious in His artistry, having created something so beautiful. He is glorious in His goodness and kindness, having created something for all humanity to see." Creation reveals the unity of God (it is a universe, with universal laws, and all life has God's signature of DNA, showing it all has a common Designer) as well as the plurality of the Godhead (manifested through all the creative diversity in the world). God's general revelation is continuous and abundant: "Day unto day utters (pours forth) speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge." The image is of a gushing spring that copiously pours forth sweet, refreshing waters of revelation. In v1-6, the Psalmist talks about both the revelation by day and the revelation by night. By day, the sun shines upon the earth, so we can see His handiwork down below, especially life, which proves there must be an intelligent Designer. By night, we see the stars, which reveal His immensity and power, as well as proclaiming the Gospel. Moreover this general revelation is universal: "There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line (sound - LXX) has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world" (v3-4a). The Bible also teaches God used the stars and constellations to preach the Gospel to ancient mankind (who looked at the stars much more than us), before God's written Word was available. We know this for in Romans 10, Paul quoted from Psalm 19, which describes God's revelation in the heavens, and applies it to the Gospel: “But they have not all obeyed the Gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, have they not heard (the Gospel)? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world” (v16-18). So the Gospel is in the Stars. This is confirmed in Genesis 15, when Abraham was justified by faith: “Then He brought him outside and said: “Look now toward heaven, and count (tell, declare) the stars if you are able to number (tell, declare) them.” And He said to him: “So shall your descendants (SEED) be.” And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness” (v5-6). The word translated 'count' means 'to tell, to give an account'. In other words, God asked him to tell the story in the stars. It is the very same word that is translated 'declare' in Psalm 19:1. That is, he was to declare the message that the stars were declaring. This was the Gospel Message of the Messiah. When he did this, God confirmed (preached) the Gospel to him, by saying: "so shall your SEED (the Messiah) be" - that is, the Messiah is coming and will be the Seed of Abraham (see Gal 3:8). So, Abraham, our father of faith, was justified by faith, as we are, through believing the Gospel, not through believing God would give him many children - which is absurd! God had revealed the Gospel of the Coming Messiah to Adam and Eve (Gen 3:15,21), and taught them the need for sacrifices, which they then passed down to their descendants. He also designed the stars to be signs pointing to His truth (Gen 1:14), and He named the stars and revealed their names to man (Isa 40:26, Ps 147:4). He named and designed the constellations to reveal His truth (Job 26:13, 9:8-9, 38:31-33, Amos 5:6-8). David knew the

Are you trying to discern what God wants you to do? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are reading 1 Samuel 6. I've titled this chapter "From Confusion to Clarity." In chapter 6, the Philistines have had enough of the Ark of God. Since capturing the Ark seven months ago, they have been tortured with the Black Plague and severe hemorrhoids. Some pagan priests devised a plan to rid themselves of the Ark, and they decided to try this unusual experiment with a couple of cows. Here is how this plays out in verses 7-12: Now then, take and prepare a new cart and two milk cows on which there has never come a yoke, and yoke the cows to the cart, but take their calves home, away from them. And take the ark of the Lord and place it on the cart and put in a box at its side the figures of gold, which you are returning to him as a guilt offering. Then send it off and let it go its way and watch. If it goes up on the way to its own land, to Beth-shemesh, then it is he who has done us this great harm, but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us; it happened to us by coincidence.” The men did so, and took two milk cows and yoked them to the cart and shut up their calves at home. And they put the ark of the Lord on the cart and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumors. And the cows went straight in the direction of Beth-shemesh along one highway, lowing as they went. They turned neither to the right nor to the left, and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh. — 1 Samuel 6:7-12 Test It For some reason, after seven months of torture, the Philistines are still unsure if God was behind the disease and pestilence that had struck their land. It had poisoned people, weakened wealth, and created conflict among their people. Yet still, the five kings of Philistine wonder if this is just a coincidence or if it is the God of the Ark. So they devise a plan to deploy a cart that will carry the ark, pulled by milk cows, to test and see if the God of the Ark takes it home. Milk It The pagan priests decided to use milk cows, not draft animals. Typical draft animals in their day were castrated oxen mainly because they were strong, steady, and orderly. Milk cows would not be the choice, mostly because they were tribal and protective mothers who primarily produced milk. Strapping them to a cart, freshly separated from their young, was a remedy for disaster. But we see they respond unexpectedly. They head directly for the closest Israel territory, lowing as if they were being called and guided to their home. This was highly unusual given all the factors that could have gone awry. Discern It God, by nature of his supreme authority, is always "leading the cart" of his creation. Yet there are times in our lives when his leading is more difficult to discern. When it is difficult, we will often look for his leading in and through the circumstances of this life. We look for his move so we can determine our move. We are trying to discern his general revelation, or how he reveals himself to us through the natural world and human experience. General revelation has a whole lot to say about God. The apostle Paul clarifies this in Romans 1:19-20: For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. — Romans 1:19-20 Thus, through general revelation, we, like the Philistines, are without excuse. God demonstrates through creation that he exists. But we don't just have a general revelation. We have more specific revelations. God gave us Jesus, Scripture, and the Spirit. He also gave us a means to talk with him in prayer and a means to hear of him through the wisdom of other believers. When it comes to discerning God's leading, we have all kinds of resources at our disposal daily and all the time. Seek It So, if you need direction today, you could look merely to general revelation. Or, if you don't want to wait through seven months of torment and track down a couple of milk cows, you could turn to the resources and tools God has already given you. But I will leave it up to you. #DiscerningGodsWill, #SeekingClarity, #DivineGuidance Ask This: How can you distinguish between God's leading and mere coincidence in your own life circumstances?  What specific steps can you take today to deepen your reliance on God's guidance through prayer, Scripture, and wise counsel from fellow believers? Do This: Seek general and specific revelation. Pray This: Father, help me discern Your will clearly amidst life's uncertainties, relying on Your guidance through Scripture, prayer, and the wisdom of others. Strengthen my faith to trust in Your leading with confidence and obedience. Amen. Play This: Lead Me On.

This week, AJ and Brandon talk about the idea of general revelation. What is it? How much does it actually tell us about God? Once we have specific revelation, is there any reason to think about the general revelation anymore?

Scripture is the supreme source of revelation from God--but it isn't the only source. The Bible tells us that God reveals Himself in creation. Today, R.C.
