Natural knowledge of God’s existence:

as an innate human sense of the divine

as seen in the order of creation

Revealed knowledge of God’s existence:

through faith and God’s grace

revealed knowledge of God in Jesus Christ

as all humans are made in God’s image, they have an inbuilt capacity and desire to know God, including:

human openness to beauty and goodness as aspects of God

human intellectual ability to reflect on and recognise God’s existence

what can be known of God can be seen in the apparent design and purpose of nature

as humans are sinful and have finite minds, natural knowledge is not sufficient to gain full knowledge of God; knowledge of God is possible through:

faith

grace as God’s gift of knowledge of himself through the Holy Spirit

full and perfect knowledge of God is revealed in the person of Jesus Christ and through:

the life of the Church

the Bible

discuss issues related to Christian ideas on knowledge of God, including:

whether or not God can be known through reason alone

whether or not faith is sufficient reason for belief in God’s existence

whether or not the Fall has completely removed all natural human knowledge of God

whether or not natural knowledge of God is the same as revealed knowledge of God

whether or not belief in God’s existence is sufficient to put one’s trust in him
