    5. What are the letters that hide the
    message? J,Q,X,Z
    C. Write below what these letters represent that
    keeps God hidden from us.

    They are the gadgets, vices, and


    some friends that hinder us from
    seeing God clearly.
    God is great, and His greatness
    is unsearchable as what the
    Psalm prayer above mentioned.
    He is omnipotent, omnipresent,
    and omniscient. He is infinite,
    and we are finite. We cannot
    comprehend Him unless He
    reveals Himself to us.
    His thoughts are higher than
    our thoughts as mentioned in
    Isaiah 55:9. The only way
    finite human beings like us
    could have true knowledge of
    an infinite God is through
    His Revelation of Himself.
    The word REVELATION-
    from Old French reveler
    “reveal” which derived from
    the Latin revelare that means
    “Reveal, uncover, disclose,” or
    literally unveil,” from re
    “again” (expressing reversal)
    and velum “veil”.
    It was then called
    “revelatio” from the Latin,
    which means disclosure of
    information to man by a
    divine or supernatural
    agency.
    Revelation is God’s
    communication of Himself by
    which He makes known the
    mystery of His divine plan. It
    is gift of God’s self
    communication which is
    realized by deeds and words
    over time.
    He was not compelled to reveal
    Himself, but “It pleased God, in His
    goodness and wisdom, to reveal
    Himself, but “It pleased God, in His
    goodness and wisdom, to reveal
    Himself and make know the mystery
    of His will. By this revelation, then,
    the invisible God, from the fullness of
    His Love, addresses men
    as His friends, and moves
    among them in order to invite
    and receive them in His own
    company” (DV 2)
    God reveals that He is good,
    loving, and addresses men as
    His friends. Man’s response
    to God’s invitation then is
    his “Obedience of faith”
    (Romans 1:5).
    He submits his whole self
    to God, the Revealer,
    because God guarantees
    His truth. Abraham is the
    Model of this obedience,
    and Mary is the most
    perfect embodiment of
    this submission.

    response of man to God.
    God’s Word

     “by faith we understand that the


    universe was ordered by the word of
    God.”
    (Hebrews 11:3)
