text:  God has revealed himself to us. And how has he done that? Well, he spoke creation into existence, right? We have general revelation. We see God in a sense. We see his fingerprints on creation, I should say. But then he revealed himself again through words, through scripture, through the incarnate word, Christ himself. So words are a grace. Words are how we know other souls. Like we wouldn't know what God hath decreed unless he told us.
