What does the Bible say about the clarity of God's revelation?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible reveals that God's truth is gradually unfolded to mankind, culminating in Christ.
God's revelation is a gradual process where truth is revealed layer by layer throughout history. From the early types in the Garden of Eden to the prophetic words of the Old Testament, God consistently unveiled a picture of salvation that culminated in the incarnation of Christ. In the New Testament, Jesus opened the understanding of His disciples, as seen in Luke 24:45, showing them how the law and the prophets spoke of Him. This gradual revelation emphasizes the nature of faith, where believers often live in uncertainty, yet are assured that God's truth will shine brightly, especially at critical moments in their spiritual journey. As Paul reminds in 2 Corinthians 4:6, God shines light into the hearts of believers, granting them knowledge of His glory in the face of Jesus Christ.
