What is revelation?
• Revelation means to show us something we
did not know or see before.
• In Christianity revelation refers to the way in
which God reveals himself .
• Revelation does not only happen to saints or
‘holy people’.
• You are responsible for listening to God’s word
in order to see how God is revealing himself to
you.
3 Types of Revelation:
• General
• Special
• Divine
Divine
• God reveals himself in ways that are beyond
our natural reason. This is divine revelation.
• We know divine intervention through
Scripture.
• Jesus revealed divine truths and these were
written down for us by the apostles.
• God inspired men to write down his
revelations.
What is God’s purpose for you?
• You are special. Made in the image and
likeness of God. You are an individual.
• From divine revelation you can explore what
God’s purpose is for you.
• You have a responsibility to listen to His word
and to work out this message for yourself.

can experience. Can you think of some
examples?
