ABSTRACT
Close relations exist between the Creator and mankind. God has not made the world and left it to its fate. The Supreme is bound by His own nature to care for His handiwork. An unsympathising God is no God. But if love binds God to man, duty binds man to God. And duty implies a knowledge of the distinction between good and evil. Revelation, then, is the communication of God’s will to man. And such a communication is made to every human being. God’s universal revelation, in which He has written His law upon the heart, just as in the Bible He has written His law in a book. Since God is perfect, He must be absolutely just. The thought of God’s judgment, far from filling us with terror, ought to tranquillise us. God’s judgment, even God’s retribution, is essentially and supremely good.
