Revelation of God – Natural Revelation of God – Special Revelation of God - Responsibility
There is much you can learn about God in nature. You can learn that he is a great God who made things in a most orderly and beautiful way. (And you can enjoy them.) You can learn that he is the preserver and governor of all things. He is a God who is in control of all things. You can see how gracious God is to all men. But you will admit that natural revelation does not explain how sinful man is and how he can be saved from his sinfulness. This is why gracious God revealed himself to you through special Revelation – the Word of God. In God's special revelation you learn who you are…details of who God is…and what God did to save you from your sins…how Jesus took on human flesh and was born of a Virgin…and how he lived and died for you and your sins were counted as his when he died on the cross. No Bible, no salvation. Know Bible, know salvation.
Brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ:
1. You are saved. You learned about salvation through Jesus Christ in the Bible, but are you daily learning God's natural and special revelation so you can learn how to worship him better…and praise him for his greatness and his goodness? This takes effort to do…so work at it. Don't read you Bible on Sunday alone… Read it every day. Think about it. Meditate on it.
2. And in the busy-ness of life, take the time to look at the beauty of the world. Instead of playing video games… or singing songs that have no meaning…wouldn't it be better to watch the stars, or a beautiful sunset…or a lovely snowfall…and then praise God for it?
