How do we know Christ will reveal Himself to us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ reveals Himself to His people at the appointed time, just as Joseph revealed himself to his brothers.

The revelation of Christ to His people is a significant theme in Scripture, paralleling the story of Joseph revealing himself to his brothers in Genesis 45. Just as Joseph, after years of separation, revealed his identity to his brothers, God, in His sovereign timing, reveals Christ to those He has chosen. This act occurs not based on human merit or timing but according to God's providential plan. Believers experience this revelation through the preaching of the Gospel, where the Holy Spirit opens their eyes to understand who Christ truly is. When Christ is revealed, He speaks peace to our hearts and assures us of our acceptance before God, stating, "Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
