Question 7: God Reveals Himself

Read: Hebrews 1:1-3

Listen: Hebrews 1

Question: How does God reveal himself to us?

Answer: God reveals himself through creation, his Word (the Bible) and most fully through his Son, Jesus Christ.

But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. Hebrews 1:2

The author of Hebrews marks a pivotal moment in God’s revelation to humanity. Throughout history, God revealed himself in various ways—through creation, his prophets and his written Word. But the writer of Hebrews announces something unprecedented: God has spoken definitively through his Son. Jesus is described as “the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being,” a complete and perfect revelation of who God is (Hebrews 1:3). Jesus isn’t just another prophet bringing God’s message. He is God himself, stepping into human history to reveal himself fully.

Today, we still experience all three ways God reveals himself: through the wonder and order of creation, through the truth and wisdom of Scripture, and most completely through Jesus Christ. When we read Jesus’s words, witness his miracles and observe his character in Scripture, we see God himself. This changes how we approach knowing God. We don’t have to piece together fragments of truth or wade through competing voices. In Jesus, we have the clearest picture of who God is, what he is like and how much he loves us. Through these complementary forms of revelation, we can know God personally and understand his will for our lives.

TODAY: Take time to notice God’s revelation. Observe his power in creation, study his truth in Scripture and look to Jesus to understand God’s character. Consider reading John 14 today. Ask God to show you more of himself through Jesus’s words and actions. Learn more about revelation in the Bible section of our We Believe document HERE.
