I will reveal myself to the one who keeps my word. God has always revealed the self to God’s people, as the Hebrew Scriptures attest. From Abraham and the patriarchs, Moses and the prophets, to Samuel and the judges, God has always made the God-self known to God’s people. And in all the above cases, the self-revelation always preceded God’s intervention in a particular situation. Another common element in the above-mentioned revelations is that the one to whom God revealed the God-self acted as a medium of this revelation. The recipients of God’s revelation were to transmit the contents of the revelation to others. However, with Jesus Christ comes a change in the mode of God’s revelation. As God-incarnate, Jesus is the fullest revelation of God. In Jesus Christ, God’s revelation is made accessible to all for he is God with us (Matthew 1:23). Even though Jesus is the fullest revelation of God, God still remains unknown. Why is this so? God reveals the self to those who keep God’s words. In other words, one must make this self-revelation of God happen. In Jesus Christ, God’s self-revelation is not so much an imposition from the outside as it is the coming to awareness by the individual. It is not an external thing. It does not happen to one from the outside (as a vision or apparition). Rather, it is an internal occurrence (a state of being) that is brought about (and seen) in the keeping of the words of Jesus. He/she who keeps God’s word becomes imbued with the love of God and becomes aflame with love (whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me). It is the fire of love ignited by the indwelling of God within one that is the revelation.
