What does the Bible say about divine revelation?

Divine revelation is God's way of unveiling His truth to humanity. The Bible emphasizes that without God's mercy, we would remain spiritually blind and ignorant of who He is. As stated in 1 Thessalonians 5, believers are 'not in darkness' but are children of light, granted understanding through the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures. God has revealed Himself progressively — we see this through the historical accounts of Jesus' ministry where He touched the blind man, demonstrating that revelation can be gradual. In John 17, Jesus speaks of giving His disciples the words from the Father, showcasing that revelation is both particular and personal. The unfolding of God's truth and character throughout history culminates in Christ, who is the ultimate revelation of God to humanity.
