What does the Bible say about hearing god?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that God truly speaks to his people, chiefly through his written Word, and that his sheep hear and follow the voice of Christ. Romans 10:17 says faith comes through hearing the word of Christ, while John 10:27 joins hearing Jesus with belonging to him and obeying him. God guides his people by Scripture through the Holy Spirit, who does not contradict the Word he inspired. John 16:13 and John 6:63 point to the Spirit's life-giving ministry, and Hebrews 4:12 describes God's Word as living and discerning. Jeremiah 33:3 encourages prayerful dependence, while Isaiah 30:21 portrays God's faithful guidance. Believers should therefore seek God humbly in Scripture, prayer, and obedient faith.
