God’s Revelation to us

General Revelation Review of general and special revelation. In regards to general revelation, Psalm 19:1-4 declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

Special Revelation Special revelation is how God has chosen to reveal Himself through miraculous means. Special revelation includes physical appearances of God, dreams, visions, the written Word of God, and most importantly – Jesus Christ. The Bible records God appearing in physical form many times (with Genesis 3:8; 18:1; Exodus 3:1-4; 34:5-7 as just a few examples). Second, the Bible records God speaking to people through dreams (Genesis 28:12; 37:5; 1 Kings 3:5; Daniel chapter 2) and visions (Genesis 15:1; Ezekiel 8:3-4; Daniel chapter 7; 2 Corinthians 12:1-7). Of primary importance in the revealing of God is His Word, the Bible, which is also a form of special revelation. God miraculously guided the authors of Scripture to correctly record His message to mankind, while still using the styles and personalities of the human authors. The Word of God is living and active (Hebrews 4:12). The Word of God is inspired, profitable, and sufficient (2 Timothy 3:16-17). God determined to have truth regarding Him recorded in written form because He knew the inaccuracy and unreliability of oral tradition. He also understood that the dreams and visions of man can be misinterpreted and the memories of them distorted. God decided to reveal everything that humanity needs to know about Him, what He expects, and what He has done for us in the Bible. And He has promised to sustain and preserve it for all time. The ultimate form of special revelation is the Person of Jesus Christ. God became a human being (John 1:1,14). Hebrews 1:1-3 summarizes it best: “In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son.... The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being.” God became a human being, in the Person of Jesus Christ, to identify with us, to set an example for us, to teach us, to reveal Himself to us, and most importantly to provide salvation for us by humbling Himself in death on the cross (Philippians 2:6-8). Jesus Christ is the ultimate “special revelation” from God.
