Review Questions

These questions are designed to help you review important material covered in the lecture. You may record your answers in a personal journal.

  1. What is divine revelation? List four ways that God has revealed himself in human terms (anthropomorphic revelation). Include specific examples from Scripture.
  2. Explain both general and special revelation. How does God use each type to reveal himself to us?
  3. How do evangelicals define God’s divine works? What does it mean that God “works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will” (Ephesians 1:11)?
  4. The Augsburg Confession tells us that God is “the Maker and Preserver of all things.” Explain the two types of divine works represented by this statement.

Application Questions

Application questions are intended for group discussions; however, you may also use them for personal reflection.

  1. What kinds of things have you learned about the world around you from what God has revealed in nature apart from Scripture? Has God’s revelation through creation made a difference in your daily life? Explain your answer.
  2. We cannot be saved through the knowledge gained from general revelation alone. How did God use his special revelation to bring you to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? How does this impact the way you minister to those around you?
  3. How does the doctrine of God’s transcendence comfort and reassure you in your Christian life? What is it about God’s complete “otherness” that challenges you most and why?
  4. In Isaiah 55:8-9, God reminds us that his ways are far beyond ours. Name a few of God’s actions that are difficult for you to understand. What do you most look forward to understanding when Christ returns in glory?
  5. The doctrine of God’s providence tells us that he is always at work in our lives. When have you been most tempted to think that God is not at work in your life? What Scripture verses call you back to a right understanding of his constant care and provision for you?
  6. What is the most significant thing you learned in this lesson?
