Does God speak to people today?

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

What’s Your Question? for Dec. 9, 2009

Many feel God has spoken directly to them, revealing things not taught in the Bible. First, if God has spoken to all who profess to have “latter revelations,” He is a God of confusion. Second, it denies the sufficiency of the gospel. Paul said even if an angel from heaven speaks something different from what God had revealed “let him be accursed” (Gal. 1:6-9). The faith (the gospel) has been revealed the same number of times we die – once (Heb. 9:27; Jude 3). There was a time when God spoke through dreams, visions and angel visits, but “in these last days” He has spoken through His Son (Heb. 1:1,2). Those who revealed His message, confirmed it through miraculous signs (Heb. 2:1-4). If God is revealing new truth, those who have that message need to confirm it by apostolic miracles.
