We know the words of the Lord through Scripture, the ministry of His Word, and the Holy Spirit's guidance.
Knowing the words of the Lord involves a process guided by the Holy Spirit and grounded in Scripture. Hebrews 1:1-2 explains how God has spoken to His people through various means, but in these last days, He speaks by His Son. This means that the words we have in the Bible are not just ancient texts; they are the direct communication from God to His people. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in this process, as stated in John 14:26, where Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit will bring to our remembrance all that He has said. Therefore, by engaging with Scripture, attending to the ministry of the Word, and relying on the Spirit's guidance, believers can discern and recognize the voice of the Lord in their lives.
