God's revelation is trustworthy as it is authenticated by both the Holy Spirit and the historical life of Christ, who perfectly embodies God's Word.
The reliability of God's revelation can be understood through the dual means of divine authentication: the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the life of Jesus Christ. Revelation 1:1 states that it is 'the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him,' highlighting that this revelation comes from God through Christ. Furthermore, the ministry of Christ was confirmed by signs and wonders, as supported by Hebrews 2:3-4, which states that God bore witness through miracles. This not only points to the authenticity of the word spoken but establishes its divine origin, ensuring that the Scripture as a whole is indeed God's authoritative message to humanity.
