Beautiful words...

"We know God by two means: first, by the creation, preservation and government of the universe, which is before our eyes like a most elegant book, wherein all creatures, great and small, are as so many characters leading us to contemplate the invisible things of God, namely, his eternal power and Godhead, as the Apostle Paul says. All which things are sufficient to convince men and leave them without excuse. Second, he makes himself more clearly and fully known to us by his holy and divine Word, that is to say, as far as is necessary for us to know in this life, for his glory and our salvation.

The Belgic Confession, 1516
