IntroductionHow does God speak to us and how do we hear

His voice?

Some tell us that ‘God laid this on my heart to speak’, ‘God speaks to me in that still small

voice’, or ‘God told me that I was saved’.

Jesus said, “If any man has ears to ear let him hear” (Luke 8:8)

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Rev. 2:11; 29; 3:6; 13,

22)

“If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God” (1 Peter 4:11)

Let God Speak to Your HeartWe hear God’s voice by hearing the Scriptures

(Matt. 22:31-32; Exodus 3:4-6, 15)

Moses & the OT Prophets are Heard by God’s Word (Luke 16:29; John 5:45-47; Deut 18:15-20; Acts 3:22-24; 7:37-38; 13:26ff)

The Holy Spirit Testifies to Us by Quoting God’s Word (Heb. 10:15-17; Jer. 31:33-34; 2 Sam.

23:1-2)

God Now Speaks to Us Today through His Son (Heb. 1:1-2; Matt. 17:5; Rom. 10:17)

When We Hear the Apostles We Hear Christ (John 14:26; 15:26; 16:13; Acts 13:44f;

1 Co 14:37)

What Does God Say to be Saved

“Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17)

“Unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins” (John 8:24)

“Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3, 5)

“If you confess Me before men I will also confess you before My Father who is in heaven” (Matt.

10:32)

“He who believes and has been baptized shall be saved” (Mark 16:16a)
