God Has Spoken


God has spoken. Are you grateful? You are if you want to know God. And you can be even more grateful because not only has God spoken in the past, He is speaking today. Are you listening?

What Does God Say?

God gave His message to men so they might write it down--we call this the Bible. As we read His Word, the Bible, God speaks to us. What does God want to say to us when He speaks? Look at the verses below:

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ).

● List the four ways God's Word is profitable to us.

● What are the results that come from listening to God through His Word?

"For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope" (Romans 15:4, NKJV)

● Why did God have men write down His words?

● What is the ultimate benefit of the Scriptures?

My Thoughts

What is one way that God's Word affects our lives today?

"This is my comfort in my affliction,
For Your word has given me life".(Psalm 119:50, NKJV).

The greatest revelation from God was about His only Son, Jesus, who came to make it possible not to just know about God but to experience God personally and become His child.

"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, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2 NKJV).

My Part

Because God has made the Bible so readily available to us, we can know what God says to us about a relationship with Him through Christ. In fact, God's Word says that His salvation is easily within reach. Today, listen to God speaking to you and accept His salvation.

This is what the Scripture says: "But what does it say? 'The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart' (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Romans 10:8-10,13 NKJV).
