Trusting God amid affliction is easier when we accurately understand his excellence. Our distrust often stems from a caricature of God, not who he truly is.
God reveals himself to us through nature, our conscience, and the Bible. Nature testifies to God’s existence as well as his creativity, power, and intelligence. Our conscience affirms God’s holiness and our moral accountability to him.
The Old Testament reveals God through his initial interface with humanity. The life and teachings of Jesus, as recorded in the Gospels—first four books of the New Testament—elaborate on these disclosures.
The remaining New Testament books complete God’s self-revelation by integrating and expanding on the Old Testament and the Gospels.
Because of our human limitations, we cannot comprehend the entirety of God in his infinite fullness. But he has revealed enough about himself in ways we can fathom to give us a good sense of his character, capabilities, and priorities.
