Responding To God’s Revelation

Contributed by Kumar Aryal on Oct 26, 2020

Today we will be studying psalm 19, and our message is entitled, ‘Responding to God’s Revelation.’ The word “revelation” implies the fact that God must make Himself known to us. In other words, we cannot know God on our own. So, revelation must come from God’s initiative.
