What does the Bible say about revelation?

Answered in 7 sources

Revelation is God's act of uncovering truth to humanity, which is essential because humans cannot discover these truths on their own.

Revelation is the divine act through which God reveals spiritual truths to humanity, starting from His creation and extending through His Scriptures and the work of the Holy Spirit. In the Greek, the term 'revelation' comes from words meaning 'to take the cover off', indicating that understanding of God must be given by God Himself. Since Adam's fall, mankind is rendered blind to God’s truth, and it is solely through revelation that we can comprehend the divine. The Bible emphasizes that without divine intervention, humanity remains in ignorance regarding God's character and plan for salvation.
