Revelation as God's Self-Revelation
Revelation is not only the book in the Bible, but it also describes the way in which God has made Himself known to us since the beginning. While scientists try to explore the cosmos and find the alpha point, some seek to deny the existence of God. However, Christians have always believed that when you reach the edge of the universe, you find nothing because God created all things out of nothing. The first chapter of the Bible answers the age-old question of why there is something rather than nothing - it is because God has revealed Himself through creation.
Everything in the Universe Reveals God
If something is created by a creator, it inherently reveals the creator. Just as a great artist's work reflects their style and characteristics, everything in the universe bears the stamp of God and reveals Him. From the creation of the world, God's invisible attributes have been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. However, due to our sin, we are blind to this revelation until our eyes are opened by the grace of Jesus Christ. As Christians, we may not know everything, but we know something about everything - that it has been made by God and we are secure in His world.
