Two forms of God’s revelations
April 12, 2010 | by Dmitriy Belous | Category: English Thursdays, Thursdays
It is believed that God is revealed to people in two forms: general revelation and special revelation.
The general revelation of God is expressed in the nature of the world (the coherent composition of earth, ocean, mountains, animals in all its power) and in the nature of mankind (peoples ability to think, to feel, to express emotions, to have spiritual needs and desires, etc.). The general revelation is passed onto ALL people on this planet.
The special revelation was intended only for certain people and at certain times. In Old Testament, that special revelation often came through prophesy, dreams, vision, etc. The special revelation in the New Testament is revealed to people when they see and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
As far as the Bible, this Book is not just a collection of God’s revelations over the course of the history. The Bible is the Word of God, and it also explains God’s character and His will towards our lives.
A person can get saved only through the special revelation of Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
