Secularism’s Rejection of God

 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness  because that which is known about God is *evident within them; for God *made it *evident to them. (NASB95)

 In this lesson, let us consider things that are made manifest in Scripture.  This idea is communicated by a particular Greek word family.

 The noun phanerōsis signifies an “announcement, disclosure, or manifestation.”  The verb phaneroō means “to disclose, expose publicly, make clear, make evident, or reveal.”  The adjective phaneros describes that which is “manifest, open, plainly seen, readily known, or visible.”  The adverb phanerōs describes action that occurs “clearly, distinctly, openly, plainly, or publicly.”

 Manifestations of God  Manifestations of Men

 His Earthly Ministry  His Eternal Purpose  His Everlasting Truth  His Eventual Return

 Through the physical incarnation of Christ, God was manifested unto the world (John 1:1-3, 14-18, 29-34; 1 John 1:1-3).  On certain occasions, Jesus warned others not to reveal his identity (Mark 3:7-12; Matt. 12:9-21).  At other times, he spoke clearly (Matt. 16:13- 20; John 8:56-59).

 After his resurrection, our Lord repeatedly manifested himself to the disciples (Mark 16:12-14; John 21:1, 14; cf. 1 Cor. 15:3-8).  The ministry of Jesus demonstrates divine glory (John 2:11), God’s works (John 9:1-5), and God’s name (John 17:6-8).

 The Son of Man reveals God’s eternal purpose (1 Tim. 3:14-16; 2 Tim. 1:8-11).  The Son of Man appeared to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:7-8; cf. Gen. 3:14- 15; John 12:27-33).

 The Son of Man reveals the righteousness of God (Rom. 3:21-26; Rev. 15:3-4).  The Son of Man provides a sacrifice for sins (Heb. 9:23-28; 1 Pet. 1:17-21; 1 John 3:5).  The Son of Man demonstrates the love of God (1 John 4:9-10; cf. John 3:16).

 Divine Truth is revealed through the testimony of Scripture, specifically, God’s will and word (Rom. 16:25-27; Col. 1:25-27; Titus 1:1-3).  Divine Truth is revealed through the testimony of nature, specifically God’s power and divinity (Rom. 1:18-23; Ps. 19).

 The Second Coming of Christ will demonstrate God’s justice and mercy (Col. 3:1-4; 1 Pet. 5:1-4; 1 John 2:28-3:3).

 Integrity of the Message  Integrity of the Messenger  Integrity of the Hearer  Integrity in Judgment

 Demonstrated by Miracles and Signs (Acts 4:13-22; 1 Cor. 12:4-11).  Demonstrated by Faithfulness and Fidelity (2 Cor. 2:14-17; 4:1-2).  Demonstrated by Clarity and Conviction (Gal. 5:19-21; Col. 4:2-4).

 Demonstrated by Sacrifice and Suffering (2 Cor. 4:7-12).  Demonstrated by Preaching and Practice (1 Tim. 4:11-16).

 Demonstrated by Obedience (John 3:16-21).  Demonstrated by Penitence (2 Cor. 7:5-16).

 Temporal Judgments  Regarding Guilt (1 Cor. 14:20-25; Heb. 4:12-13)  Regarding Faithfulness (1 Cor. 11:17-19; 1 John 2:19)  Regarding Morality (Eph. 5:6-14; 1 John 3:4-10).  Final Judgment  Revealed Deeds (2 Cor. 5:10-11; cf. Eccl. 12:13-14).  Revealed Secrets (Mark 4:21-23; Luke 8:16-18).  Revealed Shame (Rev. 3:18-19; cf. 16:15).
