Understanding Revelation Through Creation, Scripture, and the Messiah

Can We Really Know G-d?
People throughout history have asked: Is there a G-d? And if so, how do we know who He is?
The Bible’s answer is this: Yes, G-d exists—and He has made Himself known. He is not distant or hidden. In fact, the story of the Bible is the story of a G-d who reveals Himself, not just to a few, but to the whole world. And the fullest revelation of G-d is found in Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah.
Two Ways G-d Reveals Himself
The Bible shows us that G-d reveals Himself in two main ways:
1. General Revelation
This is how G-d shows Himself through the natural world and in every human heart.
2. Special Revelation
This is how G-d speaks more directly—through Scripture, the prophets, and most clearly, through Yeshua.
Let’s look at both of these.
G-d Revealed in Creation (General Revelation)
Genesis 1
From the very beginning, G-d reveals His power by speaking the universe into existence. Every star, ocean, animal, and person was made by Him—and for Him.
Psalm 19
“The heavens declare the glory of G-d; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” Creation isn’t silent—it shouts about G-d’s greatness, beauty, and order.
Romans 1–2
The Apostle Paul says that G-d’s eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen through what has been made. Even people who have never read the Bible can sense G-d's reality through their conscience and the world around them.
G-d has left His fingerprints everywhere: in the stars, in the seasons, in our desire for justice, and even in the ache for something greater.
G-d Revealed in Scripture and in the Messiah (Special Revelation)
Hebrews 1:1–3
“In the past, G-d spoke to our ancestors through the prophets... but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son.” G-d used many ways to speak in the past—but His clearest and final word is Yeshua.
John 1:1–18
Yeshua is called the Word—meaning He is G-d’s message in human form. He is eternal, divine, and through Him all things were created. When we look at Yeshua, we see G-d clearly.
Mark 12:35–37
In a powerful moment, Yeshua quotes from the Psalms to reveal that the promised Messiah is not just David’s son—He is David’s L-RD. Yeshua reveals who G-d really is through Scripture, and in His own identity.
Can We Trust the Bible?
Yes. Christians believe the Bible is not just another religious book—it is G-d’s written revelation.
As it says in 2 Timothy 3:16–17:
“All Scripture is breathed out by G-d and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.”
And in 2 Peter 1:20–21, we read:
“No prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation... but men spoke from G-d as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
This means:
- The Bible is inspired (it comes from G-d)
- It is infallible (it doesn’t fail to tell the truth)
- It is inerrant (it contains no error in what it teaches)
Through the Scriptures, we not only learn about G-d—we come to know Him personally.
Why Revelation Matters
Understanding how G-d reveals Himself changes everything:
- We are not alone. G-d made the first move to reach out to us.
- We have no excuse to ignore Him. Even creation and conscience point us toward G-d.
- We need the Bible to truly know Him. Nature shows us there is a G-d, but only Scripture reveals His name, His plan, and His Son.
- Yeshua is the full picture. To know G-d fully, we must know Yeshua, the Messiah, who is G-d made flesh.
Final Thoughts
G-d has revealed Himself to all people—first in creation, then in Scripture, and most clearly in Yeshua the Messiah. Creation tells us there is a G-d. The Bible tells us who He is. And Yeshua shows us what He’s like.
“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory...” (John 1:14)
To ignore G-d's revelation is to close our eyes to truth. But to receive it is to find life, purpose, and eternal hope.
