Psalm 19:1-2
The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.

Application: 

Divine revelation takes two forms: general revelation and special revelation. Both general and special revelation are designed to lead humanity to fear God (i.e., love Him and take Him seriously) and obey Him.

Special revelation consists of the written and living Word of God. In it, God reveals in detail who He is, what He has done, and what He requires of us. Only through the special revelation of Scripture can we know the gospel of Jesus Christ.

General revelation, on the other hand, consists of that which all people everywhere can know about God, even if they have no access to Scripture. 

For instance, our moral conscience lets us know that we are accountable to our Creator (see Rom 2:14-16). Similarly, creation itself testifies to the existence of the one who made all things for his glory (see Rom 1:19-21). 

The heavens “declare” God’s glory by confirming that an omnipotent deity exists and has made things that are marvelous in scale and complexity. In the same way that a famous artist can be recognized by the style and gravity of his work, God can be identified by the scope and excellence of his creation.

To God be the glory!

Our Lord Jesus Christ created everything! By Him, For Him!

When God inspires me, I write blogs. Consider this writing as a Bible study. Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, search the Scriptures to determine whether what I write is so. Always consult with your church ministers about biblical matters. I am also not a professional writer, so some grammar or spelling errors may be present. I try my best to write as efficiently as possible. Your brother in Christ, Ricardo
