What does it mean for believers to have God speak to them?
Answered in 1 source
For believers, having God speak to them means recognizing and responding to His word concerning Jesus Christ and believing in Him for salvation.
When God speaks to us, it centers around His revelation in Jesus Christ and the message of the Gospel. Believing God's testimony about His Son signifies a transformative encounter with the divine, leading to faith and assurance in salvation. Scriptures like 1 John 5 affirm that receiving God's witness is not only about intellectual acknowledgment but involves a deep, personal conviction of one’s need for grace. This assurance fills believers with the confidence that they belong to God as they rest in the truth of who Christ is and what He accomplished through His atoning work on the cross.
