Intro
Text - Isaiah 53.1
Title - Faith And Revelation
Series - Ever-Increasing Faith (Part 4)
Issues
what is the connection between faith and revelation
what did the prophet mean when he said “faith is a revelation”
The Main Point
Faith grows when God’s truth and righteousness is revealed
Biblical thoughts on “revelation”
Definition
Revelation - Grk. APOKALYPSIS
Apocalupsis means unveiling of something that is previously hidden
Revelation has 3 primary semantics
it is the act of unveiling
it is the thing that is being unveiled
it is the meaning of the thing that is being unveiling \
Example - the Book of Revelation
the whole purpose of the visions is to reveal Christ
the visions are the means of revealing Christ
the meaning of the visions are the revelations of Christ to the church
The word “revelation” has 2 common usages in the Bible -
actual - to describe an actual event
abstract - to describe an event or experience that takes place in the mind
Actual events
salvation, glory, coming of Christ
future bodily condition
coming of Christ
Abstract usage
understanding of the Messiah’s coming
understanding of the mystery of God
This is how the word revelation is used in the message circle
The act of revealing is God’s prerogative and initiative
until God reveals His thing, we know nothing!
revelation is different from reason
reason is when we arrive at an understanding using our God-given ability to “think”
revelation is when God gives us the understanding by outside means
The act of revealing is confined to a few important things -
secrets and mysteries
God’s character, will, and purpose
True revelation is personal but not private
personal - because God deals to a person
not private - because God’s revelation is consistent
How Faith and Revelation connect
It is God’s prerogative to reveal His secret; it is man’s responsibility to believe it.
Christ was revealed to the Jewish public by his ministry
Yet Christ remained a mystery/hidden to most of the Jews
the Jews could not believe because God hid it from their understanding
