Air Date: Jul. 16, 2024Why Doesn’t God Reveal Himself like He did in Biblical Times?

Welcome to our podcast! Today, we’re diving into a fascinating question: Why doesn’t God reveal Himself in the same way He did during biblical times? 🤔📖

Understanding Biblical Miracles

In biblical times, God performed incredible miracles—parting the Red Sea, healing the blind, and feeding thousands with a few loaves and fish. These miracles grabbed attention, evoked awe, and showed us God’s power and divine nature. 🌊🌟

Purpose of Miracles

Miracles were attention-grabbers that turned people’s focus to God since He would be the Only One explanation as to how it happened ⛈️👀.

Do Miracles Happen Today?

While miracles still happen today, they’re not the most common way God reveals Himself. This was also true during biblical times. God reveals Himself in many ways, not just through miracles. ✨🙏

God Reveals Himself through Nature: Every detail of nature speaks of His Divine Power, Divine Nature, creativity and care. We gain a “general sense of who He is.” 🌿🌄 (Psalm 19:1-2; Romans 1:20).

God Reveals Himself through the Bible 📖. God’s Word is a treasure trove of wisdom that reveals His character, His workings in the Word and His plan. We learn more specific things about God. Engaging with Scripture deepens our understanding of Him. 📖💡

God Reveals Himself through Jesus Christ. Jesus is God in the flesh who dwelt among us (John 1:14). By reading about Him in the Gospel accounts, we discover even more specifically who God is and what He is like. ✝️

Taking Initiative to Know God

God has already revealed Himself abundantly through nature, the Bible, and Jesus Christ. Let’s take the initiative to know Him better by exploring what He has already shown us. 🌍❤️
