The Revelation of God (2)

1. The necessity of revelation

God is hidden from human view because of sin

But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. ()

People are ignorant of God/la gente anda ignorante acerca de Dios

18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; (Ef.4.18)

The means by which God reveals himself/Las formas en que Dios se revela

a) En las Escrituras/The Scriptures

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. ()

b) By the Holly Spirit/a travez del Espiritu Santo

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. (Ef.1.17)

c) Supremely in Jesus Christ/en Cristo Jesus

18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. (J.1.18)

d) In the creation/En la creacion

26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. ()

e) Through the prophets/a travez de los profetas

6 Then He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. (Num.12.26)

f) In visions and dreams/en sueños y visiones

17 As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. ()
