The revealed and unrevealed God

Christianity is a revealed religion: God reveals Himself to us in His creation, in His Word and in His Son. However our knowledge of God is limited because there is much about His plan and divine purpose that is not revealed.

In this selection from his lectures on Genesis, Luther speaks to the divine mystery of election and why we can never understand God's plan from a purely rational point of view. However we can take comfort from what has been revealed that our place in His plan is secure.
