Psalm 19:3
"There is no speech nor language
where their voice is not heard"
More than 4,000 language groups exist in the world today. God, however, uses just two forms of communication to make Himself know to us. He speaks through general revelation, consisting of conscience and nature; but He also speaks through special revelation, which includes His written word, the Bible, and the living Word, Christ.
The universe declares His great power, glory, and handiwork. It says, "It couldn't have happened by chance. There must be a higher being behind it all." And conscience witnesses to the existence of a higher standard of right and wrong. We all can hear God speak if we will listen.
Without God's special revelation, however , what we hear is in complete. For example, ancient people looked at nature and worshiped gods of the sun and the moon. Today brilliant scientists probe the mysteries of nature, straining to hear a single theory to explain its complexities. But it is all to no avail. And conscience, through affirming right and wrong, says contradictory things from one culture to another.
Only the Bible and it's central person; Jesus Christ, reveal the living and true God, telling us of His holiness, His love, and His redemptive purposes. Our part is to listen, learn, worship, and pray. "In God's Works We See His Hand; In His Word We See His Face."
