Divine revelation is confirmed through scripture, the consistent teaching of the church, and the inner witness of the Holy Spirit.
The truth of divine revelation is established through the authority of scripture, which serves as the inspired word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16 affirms that all scripture is God-breathed and provides the basis for our beliefs. Furthermore, the historical teachings of the church, particularly those rooted in the Reformed tradition, provide a framework for understanding and affirming these truths. Finally, the inner witness of the Holy Spirit assures believers of the truth of God's revelation, as described in Romans 8:16, which testifies in our hearts that we are children of God.
