The Bible is a _______ of God and His plan of salvation for humanity.

• A. Growing Revelation
• B. Divine Revelation
• C. Progressive Revelation
• D. Ultimate Revelation

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that God’s revelation about Himself and His plan of salvation unfolds over time, growing as history progresses and as Scripture reveals more light. The Bible shows this progression: Old Testament foreshadowing and covenants point forward to fuller understanding in Christ, and New Testament teaching helps believers grasp aspects of salvation that earlier generations only hinted at. This sense of revelation developing step by step is what people mean by a growing or progressive unveiling of truth.

That’s why the phrase the question is seeking fits best: a growing revelation. It communicates that God’s message isn’t revealed all at once in one moment, but becomes clearer as God continues to reveal more through history and Scripture. Divine revelation is true, but it’s too general and doesn’t express the unfolding over time. Progressive revelation is the standard term for this idea, and growing revelation captures the same sense of development. Ultimate revelation would imply a final, complete stopping point, which doesn’t convey the ongoing unfolding seen throughout the Bible.
