God’s communication through history

At first, He just talked directly to people.

Sometimes, God would use vision or a dream.

Sometimes, God would manifest Himself in some form and appear to people.

God brought punishments or blessings on some people.

  • Amos 4:6-8 – You should have noticed the punishments! This doesn’t mean any bad things is a sign from God.

Creation itself teaches us about God.

Many times, God used prophets.
