What does the Bible say about Revelation and knowing God?

In John 8:19, Jesus asserts that true understanding begins with revelation from God: 'If you had known me, you should have known my Father also.' This revelation is vital as it establishes our relationship with God. The New Covenant promises that all of God's people will be taught by Him, emphasizing the necessity of divine illumination to recognize His truth and character. Without this divine revelation, one remains in darkness regarding their relationship with God and the salvation offered in Christ.
