The God of Scripture can only be known by those to whom He makes Himself known.
In The Attributes of God, A.W. Pink so nicely illustrates our need for God to reveal himself to us through Scripture.
"Analogy has been drawn between a savage finding a watch upon the sands, and from a close examination of it he infers a watch-maker. So far so good. But attempt to go further: suppose that savage sits down on the sand and endeavors to form to himself a conception of this watch-maker, his personal affections and manners; his disposition, acquirements, and moral character—all that goes to make up a personality; could he ever think or reason out a real man—the man who made the watch, so that he could say, "I am acquainted with him?" It seems trifling to ask such questions, but is the eternal and infinite God so much more within the grasp of human reason? No, indeed! The God of Scripture can only be known by those to whom He makes Himself known." A.W. PinkIn this day and age when speakers of English have a multitude of Bible translations from which to choose it's easy to forget that there are hundreds of millions of people in the world to whom God is going to use us to reveal himself by bringing them his Word. That is the point of the Great Commission, is it not?
