What role does revelation play in knowing God through Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Revelation is essential for knowing God, as no one can know the Father except through the Son, who reveals Him.

In Matthew 11:27, Jesus teaches that no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. This highlights the necessity of divine revelation for understanding God. Human efforts or wisdom cannot grasp the nature of God; instead, it requires Christ's revealing work. Through Scripture, we learn that Christ is the ultimate revelation of God, allowing believers to know God personally and intimately. Therefore, the study of theology must center on Christ, for it is through Him that the glory of God is revealed.
