This article introduces the Belgic Confession, and then turns to a treatment of Article 1 on knowing God and the attributes of God, of Article 2 on the revelation of God, both his natural revelation and special revelation, and then of Article 3 on the inspiration of Scripture.

Natural revelation explains the reality that God revealed himself through his creation. This article explains the nature of this revelation, its scope, evidence, and purpose.

From natural revelation we can learn the positive and the negative things about life. However, as this article explains, we are also able to draw wrong conclusions—lessons that are not intended.
