Trusting God amid affliction is easier when we have an accurate understanding of his excellence. Our distrust often stems from a caricature of God, rather than who he truly is.
God reveals himself to us through nature, our conscience, and the Bible. Nature testifies to his existence as well as his creativity, power, and intelligence. Our conscience affirms his 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.
Due to our human limitations, we cannot fully comprehend God’s infinite fullness. However, he has revealed enough about himself in ways we can fathom to give us a good sense of his character, capabilities, and priorities.
