By Chuck Smith0HEB 1:1Chuck Smith emphasizes the profound reality that the infinite God desires to communicate with finite humanity. He explains that God's purpose in speaking to us is to reveal Himself and establish a basis for fellowship, highlighting that true understanding of God comes through Jesus Christ. Smith warns against false prophets and stresses the importance of discerning God's voice through the scriptures and the experiences of life. He encourages believers to conform to God's ways to enjoy a closer relationship with Him, rather than trying to reshape God to fit their own patterns. Ultimately, God speaks to us through prophets, visions, and the everyday experiences of life.
