Creation As Continuous Revelation
- Sinclair B. Ferguson argues creation is itself a continuous revelation of God that makes atheism impossible in an absolute sense.
- He follows Herman Bavinck and Romans 1 to claim there are no real atheists, only hiding atheists.
Inescapable Knowledge Of God
- Ferguson emphasizes that God's revelation is inescapable so people cannot ultimately deny God's existence even if they claim to.
- He cites Romans 1.21 to show nonbelievers 'know that God is' despite professed denial.
Every Creature Proclaims Glory
- Ferguson restates Isaac Watts and Bavinck to underline that every creature 'makes God's glories known.'
- This poetic image supports his claim that the created order continually testifies to God.
