"Now, one of the beautiful verses comes from Jeremiah 9, verses 23 and 24. It says, Thus says the Lord, Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the God who practices steadfast love, justice and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord." [00:02:57]

"God's general revelation which is to say that he reveals himself to every human being on earth کوئی بھی ایسا انسان کہیں پہ بھی ہو وہ یہ نہیں کہہ سکتا کہ ہمیں خداوند نے اپنے بارے میں کوئی بھی علم نہیں دیا اور خداوند کے کچھ طریقے ہیں جو وہ general revelation میں ہر ایک انسان کو ہر ایک کے ساتھ وہ accessible ہے وہ خداوند کی علم یا knowledge جو ہے وہ accessible ہے so we can know God through the general revelation God makes himself known to all peoples everywhere through these four modes." [00:05:53]

"God makes himself known to all peoples everywhere through these four modes and we are just going to be talking about that in a minute but the second way he makes himself known is what is known as special revelation and special revelation جو ہے وہ خداوند کے کلام سے خداوند کے جو باتیں ہیں and we are going to look at the details through him the way he reveals to those people who have been called by him اور یہ علم جو ہے یہ خداوند کا علم جو ہے special revelation کے ذریعے سے دیا جاتا ہے and this special revelation is accessible by faith." [00:08:49]

"Every human being, even an atheist, in their life, has something that takes the place of an idol in their lives. Every human being, every, nobody escapes this because we are built to worship. So verse 24 says, therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves." [00:13:05]

"Even if you are not part of the nation of Israel, even if you didn't have the written word of God, your conscience itself tells you what is right and what is wrong. And so that is a witness that where do we get the sense of right and wrong? It is God who has put that human conscience. So that's another way God reveals to us." [00:20:10]

"Now, what about the modes of special revelation? The modes of special revelation. First of all, scripture. Khudawand ke baare mein hum kaise jaante hain, kyunki khudawand ne likhit roop mein, he has given us the written word of God. The written word of God. Now, scripture leads to faith in Christ for salvation, and it equips. Everyone for good work." [00:24:01]

"God's Jesus is God's eternal word in John chapter 1 verses 1 and 2 what we what do we read in the beginning was the word is the eternal Word of God right and the word was with God and the word was God he was in the beginning with God so here's an easy way to understand special revelation okay special revelation is the written Word of God and the eternal Word of God Jesus Christ." [00:37:43]

"Through that, which is a very weak instrument, through that God pleases people. Because he reveals himself through the word to those people. And without this, without the word of God, without the preaching of the word of God, no one will come to know. God Got to understand this right in Galatians chapter 4 verse 8. It says formerly you did not know God A time when you did not know God You were enslaved to those that by nature are not God you were you were in slavery to other Things in your life." [00:38:05]

"Who have a saving knowledge of God and other people who just know about God through creation and the other other modes of? general revelation But only through Christ the Bible tells us can human beings come to a saving knowledge of God and this is the reason as Christians we share the gospel with other people we go to be send missionaries We send evangelists cue him a missionary work or evangelism work at a cue You can jump the Kudavon kaiya Kalam on tak na he won't Jigga." [00:38:20]

"خداون کی روح سے گائیڈ ہو کر جنہوں نے یہ لکھا ہے سکرپچر انہوں نے وہ لکھا تھا اور خداون کی روح سے گائیڈ ہو کر ہم اس کو سمجھتے بھی ہیں اور خداون کی روح ہی خداون کے وائدوں کو اور اس کے بچانے کی شکتی کو پاور کو ہماری زندگی میں اپلائی کرتا ہے تو ہم اندر صرف خدا کے مطابق دے گئے ہیں اور یہ خداون کی روح ہے پہلے قرآن 2 ساتھ 10 -13 کہتے ہیں یہ چیزیں اللہ نے ہمارے ساتھ در خدا کر دیا ہے لیکن خداون کی روح سرچا ہماری سبیت کی طرف بھی وہ خداون کی دلاتے ہیں." [00:41:21]

"اگر خداوند کا روح ہماری آنکھیں ہمارے کان کو نہ کھولے تو ہم خداوند کے کلام کو نہ تو سمجھ سکتے ہیں نہ خداوند یسو مرسی کو خدا کر کے پہچان سکتے ہیں so this is a very important thing this is why is this important for us practically ہماری third priority کیا ہے to share the gospel with other people but when you share the gospel with other people remember it is not your argument that will bring them to faith it is the holy spirit of God which will take any word of God that you take and share with them." [00:42:50]

"Finally once again jeremiah chapter 9 verses 23 to 24 thus says the lord let not the wise man boast in his wisdom hmm let not the wise man boast in his wisdom let not the mighty man boast in his might you know let not the rich man boast in his riches but let him who boasts boast in this that he I I understands and knows me what a beautiful thing isn't it when we talk to each other to be able to say that I know god you know god god is talking to you and you also tell them that god is talking to you through his words and through his mercy." [00:58:01]
