God reveals Himself to us through the preaching of the gospel and the illumination of the Holy Spirit.
God's revelation in the context of salvation occurs through the preaching of the gospel, where His Spirit lifts the veil from our hearts, allowing us to perceive the truth of Christ. Paul states in Galatians 1:15-16 that it was God who revealed His Son to him, highlighting the divine initiative in salvation. It's God who seeks out the lost and opens their hearts to understand their need for Him. John 10:3 describes how Christ, as the Good Shepherd, calls His sheep by name, indicating personal and transformative revelation. This interplay of the Word preached and the Spirit's work in our hearts leads to true knowledge of God and faith in Christ.
