God has spoken! What has he spoken and where has he spoken?
In Hebrews 1:1-4, the writer made an explicit statement; that God has spoken to us! Also unequivocally stated is how he has spoken to us. Other texts of scripture have severally made clear why God has spoken to us.
God speaks to us simply to fulfill the purpose for which we were made. The very purpose of our creation and all of the ways by which we must live, have been nicely wrapped in all of scripture; explicitly and implicitly, and handed to us, along with the provision for understanding and applying to our lives.
In this sermon, deacon Kwaw sought inform or remind the saints that God has spoken cumulatively throughout history and ultimately in his son Jesus Christ, and that he has preserved a written record of his word, all with the aim of reconciling man to God in an everlasting union. He outlined this in three significant points:
1. The permanence of what God has spoken: His written word will never pass away.
2. The purpose for which God has spoken: To reconcile those who had become his enemies through the fall.
3. The person through whom God has spoken: His son Jesus Christ, the ultimate and eternal expression of himself to man.
