Divine Revelation Is
Romans 1:19-21
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them.…


I. LIMITED. "That which may be known" — hence some things may not be known. Do not pry into the mysteries of the Divine existence, futurity, etc., but be humble and contented with what may be known.

II. SUFFICIENT. "That which may be known." God knows best what this is. Enough has been revealed to make us holy and happy; let us be thankful.

III. MANIFEST to reason and conscience. Reason approves the contents of revelation as true, and conscience accepts them as good.

IV. CLEAR. Therefore —

1. Study it.

2. Embrace it.

3. Carry it out.

(J. W. Burn.)
