For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Romans 1:20 2. God reveals Himself in Scripture. "The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul" (v. 7a). You have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God. 1 Peter 1:23 "The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple" (v. 7b). "The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart" (v. 8a). "The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes" (v. 8b). 3. God reveals Himself ultimately in Christ. "He is the image of the invisible God…he is the beginning. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell bodily" (Col 1:15&19). "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:1). "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son…He is the radiance of the glory of God, the exact imprint of his nature" (Hebrews 1:1-3). Jesus spoke to them again: "I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." John 8:12 For all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. Romans 3:23 God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. John 3:16 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved. Romans 10:9-10.
