God has revealed Himself to everyone in a general or universal sense through nature, intuitive knowledge, conscience, and providence. “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made” (Rom. 1:20; see also Gen. 1:26, 27; 3:15; Acts 17:26-28). 4Unless otherwise indicated, Scripture quotations in this chapter are from the New American Standard Bible®. General revelation is gathered from what can be observed externally or internally through natural means. Alone, general revelation does not provide an understanding that brings salvation. The Holy Spirit uses these means to touch the mind and heart of every person. UEGW 31.3
