God speaks through creation
A clear night sky, the order of seasons, and the sheer abundance of life can stir a real question: where did this come from? The Bible says creation points beyond itself to its Maker. Psalm 19 describes the heavens as continually declaring God's glory, while Paul says that God's eternal power and divine nature can be recognised in what He has made (Psalm 19:1; Romans 1:20).
Creation shows that God is powerful, wise, and generous. Yet it does not tell us everything. Looking at a mountain cannot, by itself, explain God's mercy, His promises, or how He rescues people. For that, God gives clearer revelation.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
God speaks in Scripture
Throughout the Bible, God makes Himself known through real people and events. He called Abraham, delivered Israel from Egypt, spoke through prophets, and guided His people even when they wandered. These stories show both God's holiness and His patience.
Scripture is more than a collection of inspiring thoughts. Paul tells Timothy that it is given by God's inspiration and is useful for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). As you read, notice what a passage reveals about God's character, His purposes, and the kind of response He calls for.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Jesus shows us God most clearly
For Christians, Jesus is the fullest answer to this question. Hebrews says that God spoke in many ways through the prophets, but has spoken decisively through His Son (Hebrews 1:1-2). Jesus did not merely bring a message about God. He made God's heart visible in human life.
When Philip asked Jesus to show the disciples the Father, Jesus pointed to His own relationship with the Father (John 14:9). Watch Jesus welcoming outsiders, touching the unclean, confronting hypocrisy, forgiving sinners, and giving Himself at the cross. In Him, we see God's truth and compassion together (John 1:14).
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
God helps us respond
God's revelation is not meant to remain distant or theoretical. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would guide His followers into truth (John 16:13). The Spirit does not replace Scripture or give every believer the same experience, but He helps people understand Christ, trust Him, and bear the fruit of a changed life (Galatians 5:22-23).
So begin simply. Read one Gospel, such as John, and ask God to show you who Jesus is. Be honest about your questions. The Bible says that those who seek God are invited to draw near in faith, trusting that He welcomes those who genuinely seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).
