General Revelation
by faith we understand
We believe that our chief end is to glorify God. God is glorified by knowing Him in all that by which He makes Himself known; in all of His works of creation and providence. We see this taught in general revelation, in scripture, and in the Westminster Shorter Catechism questions 1, 46, and 101.
What we can know from general revelation?
1. God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, in being, wisdom, power, holiness, goodness, justice, and truth.
2. Only God is eternal (without beginning). The material world and the human soul had a beginning.
3. The world was created very good.
4. God made a covenant with man which our first representative broke.
5. The inherent consequence of sin is spiritual death.
6. Natural evil is imposed by God as a call back from sin.
7. We need a second representative who will redeem us through vicarious atonement.
Can you show how each of these is true from general revelation? If not, what is the implication?
