Finally....Answering the Question Proposed

We can finally answer the question proposed several weeks ago. Just to bring you up to speed, we are answering several basic questions regarding Christian theology. We are on question two, which is "How can we know God?" The first question answered was simply, "Why is it important to study theology?"

Let me give to you the outline that I crafted for the next few weeks. This will help you follow my line of thought a little easier. I apologize for not having PowerPoint on Sunday for those of you who take detailed notes. I will be a good boy this coming week and have it for you. Here is the outline that I explained Sunday. (Note: On Sunday we only dealt with the first sub point of point I. That is why pt. I, A is more extensive than the rest of the outline.)

How do we know God?

I. The Witness of God's Work (A discussion regarding general revelation)

A. Awareness of God Internally (conscience)
1. Support by means of Scriptural explanation
2. Support by means of experiential observation
3. Support by means of practical illustration

B. Awareness of God Externally (creation)

II. The Witness of God's World (A discussion regarding general revelation)

III. The Witness of God's Word (A discussion regarding special revelation)
