Divine Revelation as a Way of Knowing

Here, we return to the major point of this journey. Christ is THE Light. He lights every person who comes into the world. Some turn from the Light. Others embrace the Light and walk into ever-increasing Light. They walk from glory to glory. They shine more and more until God’s totally complete Day.

In volume one of Real Faith & Reason, we discussed truth, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and goodness in some depth. We discovered how they’re interrelated. We discovered something about wisdom and understanding. To turn away from evil is understanding. Turning away from evil is righteousness. Jesus Christ has become our wisdom, and wisdom consists of righteousness, holiness, and redemption. We enter His righteousness when we listen to the voice of God. As He leads, teaches, and corrects us, His faith comes to us. Then, His faith gives us access into His grace. His grace, in turn, does His works through us. That’s the gift of righteousness, and righteousness is free. The grace of God does God’s works through us. Nothing else is ever true righteousness. The grace that’s through the faith of God does the work. Holiness is the purity that results when the righteousness of God cleanses us. And redemption is setting the slave free. We have been slaves to sin, habits, desires, demonic influence, the influence of the culture, and our own fallen fleshly natures. We ask God to set us free from all that, and He will complete the work in us.
