God Still Speaks Today

Does God still speak to us today? The short answer is YES! But not in the ways that many in the world today think. Many people today often are looking for signs, voices, or personal revelations from God. Contrary to popular belief God in no way choose one person over the other to speak to them or reveal some new truth. The Bible teaches us that God has already given His complete and sufficient message through His Word. Hebrews 1:1-2 says, “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son.” Today, we hear God speak through the revealed message of Jesus Christ, which has been faithfully preserved in the Holy Scripture. The Bible is not merely a historical record; it is the living Word of God (Hebrews 4:12), able to guide, correct, and shape our lives. Jude 1:3 says “…exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.” The “once for all” meaning that it was complete.

Rather than waiting for a feeling or a direct voice from heaven, we must open our Bibles and listen. When we read Scripture, God speaks. When we obey it, we respond. Paul reminded Timothy that “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God… that the man of God may be complete” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). This means we are not lacking anything necessary for life and godliness. God speaks to us through His Word to instruct us in righteousness, to warn us against sin, and to encourage us in faithfulness.

God speaks through the teaching and preaching of His Word when it is rightly divided (2 Timothy 2:15). Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17), not by subjective experiences. While God’s providence works in our lives in ways we may not always understand, His will is never revealed apart from Scripture. If we want to know what God is saying to us today, we must be people of the Book, reading it daily, studying it carefully, and applying it faithfully.

We should never overlook the great blessing we have in the completed revelation of God’s will, the Bible! Let us cherish and obey the one He has already given. When we do, we will clearly hear His voice leading us in all things.

God Bless
