Revealed Religion alone makes the necessity of becoming intuitively perceptible

Evidence

Hegel differentiates Revealed Religion from the previous figures of religion because it awakens in us the intuitive perception of the necessity of coming-to-be (la nécessité du devenir), the evolution or development (devenir) through which substance raises itself to the form of selfconsciousness. Now this necessity could not be produced; it can only be something that ‘offers itself’ to intuition. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 862
