What does the Bible say about god speaking to you?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that God speaks reliably and savingly through his written Word, supremely revealing himself in his Son, Jesus Christ. Hebrews 1:1-2 declares that God has spoken finally in the Son, while 2 Timothy 3:16 affirms that Scripture is God-breathed and equips believers for faithful living. Jesus says that his sheep hear his voice and follow him in John 10:27-28, ordinarily as the Spirit applies Scripture to their hearts. God invites his people to call on him in Jeremiah 33:3, and faith comes through hearing the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). His Word is living and effective (Hebrews 4:12), and true hearing is shown by obedient trust (Matthew 7:24).
