REVELATION MAKES YAHWEH KNOWN 2

Revelation makes God known

Can someone proclaim God without knowing Him?
Can someone know God without the revelation of God?
       Knowing God is not only to know facts about God but to    know Him personally as one person can know another in trust and in love 

Those who do not believe in God’s revelation cannot speak about God.

REVELATION MAKES YAHWEH KNOWN 1

Revelation makes God known

God is the source of truth. Only through the revelation of God are we able to know God and have the truth (Jn.1:14).
What human authority can establish the truth on earth if God, who is expected to be the supreme authority in theology, is not revealed?

REVELATION MAKES GOD ACCESSIBLE 4

God in the Qur’an is not revealed to Muhammad 

God in the Bible reveals Himself to many people
Who can then claim knowing and having the truth?
      The followers of the Bible or the Qur’an?

REVELATION MAKES GOD ACCESSIBLE 3

If God comes, everybody, therefore, can say:

1.God is everywhere, and near me,

2.I ,therefore, can call God into my heart,
3.If God is with me, Satan, therefore, cannot have a place in me; because, God and Satan cannot live in one place together. 

4.If Satan is not in me, it means that my relationship with      Satan and Hell has ended.

 This means; I am saved

REVELATION MAKES GOD ACCESSIBLE 2

Mankind is not able to go to God, but God is able to come to mankind
1.Man is in chain,
2.Every other religion in the world asks personal man (though in chain) to go to impersonal god, but in the Bible personal God comes to personal man in order to unchain him.
3.In other religions, gods wait for the lost man to find them, but in the Bible God searches for lost

REVELATION MAKES GOD ACCESSIBLE 1

Revelation makes God Accessible

God wants to dwell personally with his creatures. He wants to live not only among us but even within us at the very center of our existence
*The presence of God in the tabernacle and temple in the Old Testament
*In the New Testament Immanuel, 'God-with-us‘ and “us” as God’s Temples, both indicating to a more personal and intimate relationship

REVELATION OF YAHWEH - KEY 2

Revelation of God: a key to personal witnessing

The fact that God of the Bible reveals Himself personally to people as holy, just, loving and savior is to give purpose and meaning to life.
God has created the man for a purpose
To give purpose to life, God’s constant presence and supervision are necessary
