On July 9, 2020 I posted a blog entitled, “The Redeeming Power of God’s Dual Revelation.” In his Commentary on the Book of Acts F. F. Bruce made the following comments concerning God’s general revelation in HIs creations:
…[God] “overlooked” the times of ignorance before the full revelation of His will appeared [in Jesus Christ]. Yet the ignorance should not have been so great as it actually was, for the way in which God ordered the seasons, so as to give food to all flesh, ought to have made men mindful of Him and of His claims upon their worship. In Rom. 1:19* Paul also emphasizes that if men had paid heed to the works of God in creation, they might even in them have found tokens of His “everlasting power and divinity”.
*…since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. (Romans 1: 19-20)
