Why is hearing God's voice essential for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Hearing God's voice is essential for Christians as it provides guidance, truth, and assurance of His presence in our lives.

Hearing God's voice offers both direction and comfort. As articulated in the sermon, Samuel initially did not know the Lord, yet God was seeking to speak to him (1 Samuel 3:7). This reveals the truth that God's initiative is paramount; He calls His people even before they know Him. The call to hear from God is a call to draw nearer to Him, to understand His will for our lives. In contrast, a lack of hearing God often leads to confusion and wandering in spiritual darkness. Thus, being attentive to God's word and the preaching thereof is vital for spiritual growth and assurance of faith.
