General Revelation
God is proven to exist in the general revelation of conscience and creation. The first form of general revelation is the universal conscience of every human being that accuses us or excuses us. It is a law within every person. Here is what the Bible says about conscience:

Romans 1:19 says,

“Because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.”

Romans 2:14-16 says,

“For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.”

Romans 1:20 says,

“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.” The main point to understand is that there will be no excuse for not believing in God, because the world proves that He exists.
Here are some proofs to consider:
The creation of the universe and the world proves that there is a God. God’s power is made manifest in the order that exists within the planetary galaxies. The worlds hang on nothing. The earth spinning on its axis once to make a 24 hour day in sequence with timing of seasons shows the handy work of God. The distance of the sun is in exact placement to sustain life on earth. If it was further away, then life could not exist on earth. If it was closer, then the earth would be burning temperatures. The survival of plants, animals and humans are made possible by the placement of the sun. General revelation shows God’s power in creation as well as conscience. The two are proofs for God’s existence.
Specific Revelation
God has established the fact that He exists. Since God exists, then who is God? This is known as specific revelation. God reveals exactly who He is to man. The Bible says that God in the days of old through various ways in different times spoke to the fathers by the prophets. In the last days God has spoken in Son.

Amos 3:7 says, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” God revealed Himself as Creator. God spoke to the prophets about things concerning Him in mystery through the centuries.
God unravels the mystery in Jesus:
Ephesians 3:9 says,

“And to make all men see what the fellowship of the mystery is, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.”

Revelation 19 says,

"That the revelation of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy. All of the prophecy was concerning the revelation of Jesus Christ."

Revelation 1:1 says,

"That this is the revelation of Jesus Christ to the saints."

Hebrews 10:1 says,

'That Jesus is the substance of the shadows of old that were foretold are all concerning Him."
The shadows are the sacrifices, ceremonies, types and pictures:
Luke 24:44-48 says,

“And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among al...
