30. How did God reveal Himself in Universe

31. Glory of God is evident in nature

32. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because
God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his
eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived,
ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been
made.
(Rom 1:19–20 ESV)

33. Universal moral law is evidence
of a divine law-giver.

34. When the nations, who do not have the Biblical law, by nature
do what the law requires, they create a law to themselves, even
though they do not have the Biblical law. They show that the
work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience
also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even
excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God
judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
(Rom 2:14–16 ESV)
