1. Christians believed in God the revealer, and the maker of heaven and earth. They also believed that God wants to make Himself known and glorified. According to Christianity God made known of Himself by way of revelation. They have called God’s words as His special revelation. While His works of creation and providence are known as His general revelation.

2. General revelation surrounds us in nature while displaying God’s glory and power to all men so there will be no excuse to deny His existence. It is sometimes referred to as the unspoken revelation.

3. Special revelation extensively made known God’s will, wisdom and knowledge in spoken and written down. It is sometimes referred to as the spoken revelation. It also revealed much more about God’s character in general revelation and specifically in His intervention in the affairs of man. The most significant element of special revelation being the supernatural aspect of the word of God incarnating as Jesus Christ the messiah. According to the teachings of Christianity special revelation completes the revelation of God to humanity.

4. For these reasons Christians strongly believed that Christianity is a revealed religion from God and that the Bible is Holy because it is the written words of God revealed by way of inspiration to numerous writers over the span of centuries. These very words of God are the foundation and source of the teachings of Christianity. In fact it is the final authority in matters of faith especially to the non-Catholic denominations.

5. To the Christians, God still speaks through the words of the Bible just as He spoke to His people when those words were first given. As such in Christianity the Bible is incorruptible, infallible as well as inerrant. The church recognized It speaks the truth and is revered by every Christian to this day.

6. The Christian God therefore had communicated with man at different times, in different ways and to different people through revelation. The Bible on the other hand is a sacred record of the relationship between God and humans.
