4. REVELATION:
By
revelation is meant a special act of God whereby He makes known to man truth
that could not otherwise be known. For example, no man was present to observe
the creation of the universe. Therefore the best man can do by himself is to
speculate on how it came into being. With all of his probings and scientific
know-how he could never be sure that he had the right answer. The Bible
purports to make known by revelation how God created all things in the
beginning. Whereas experiential knowledge appears to be the most convincing
type, only Revelation assures of absolute truth. Apart from Revelation there
might be absolute truth, but man could possess no absolute knowledge that it
was so. But it should be remembered that although the Bible presents absolute truth,
our understanding and comprehension of it is incomplete and relative, otherwise
there would be no point in studying it.
