How do we know if we have truly heard God's voice?

Distinguishing between hearing the voice of man and the voice of God can be critical in the life of a believer. When one hears God's voice, it is accompanied by a sense of urgency and a desire to obey, as exemplified in the lives of the disciples who immediately followed Christ. In contrast, the voice of man often leads to compromise and justification of one's actions. For example, in the passage where Jesus calls Peter, James, and John, they leave everything to follow Him without hesitation. This illustrates that true hearing of God’s voice compels us to respond in faith and to abandon our former ways, embracing the new life that Christ offers.
