How’d He Do That? General Revelation 1:

Creation -

Theologians tell us that God has used two primary means of revealing Himself to us - General revelation and Special revelation. Today, I’ll look at General Revelation.

General revelation is referring to the universe in general and planet earth and life upon earth in particular. Many people, the Bible refers to them as fools, suggest that the universe just happened without any assistance from a force outside of nature. Nature, they say, brought itself into being. Hence the term “fool.”

In Romans 1:18-32 Paul explains God’s judgement on those who reject such obvious evidence of God’s existence. “God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.”

Because at one time nothing natural existed, the Creator of our universe is obviously outside of or supra natural. Because nothing material existed, our Creator is obviously Spiritual. Because nothing natural can exist from eternity, our Creator is obviously infinite and eternal. Because the universe came from nothing, in an instant with the material parameters fixed at the singularity, our Creator is obviously a power and an intelligence the likes of which is mostly beyond human comprehension.

“Therefore no one is without excuse.”

“God has not left Himself without testimony of Himself.”
