Explain both natural revelation and divine revelation

Natural Revelation: by means of reason, human beings can come to know God as the one personal source of reality, and they can recognize him as the end for which they were made; furthermore, you can recognize something of the creator through your conscience, which he has inscribed on your heart (we have reason)
Divine Revelation- the way God communicates who he is through human kind; a self communication realized by his actions and words over time, most fully realized by sending his own son, Jesus Christ
