Today, some points are shared on why only Christians can hear GOD. A “Yahoo! Answers Philippines” writer using the ID “Daniel” (Level 4 with 3,338 points, a member since April 07, 2013) posted the following first asked at Yahoo Answers United States:
How come only christians can hear god?
Either christians or people that are having a hard time in life are the only ones that seem to have 'revelations' or are the only ones to be born again.. why is this??
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. (1st John 4: 4-6, KJV)
THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Relating to GOD? (11/05/2013); Does Satan Know? (11/06/2013); Those Who Have Never Heard? (06/07/2013); If You Are Sent…? (06/08/2013); Wanting To Have Our Way (03/09/2013); Not Even Sorry? (03/10/2013); Why A “Spokesperson”? (01/14/2013); No Contradictions? (01/15/2013)
“Daniel”, here are a few points that have been helpful among Christian believers:
(1.) These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. (1st John 1: 5, KJV)
(2.) Using the language of the Bible, mature Christian believers trust that GOD does not “respect persons.” This means that GOD does not give preference or “play favorites” in the sacred operations of judgment and revelation. GOD is fair and impartial, ruling and sharing only on the basis of sacred law and truth, and GOD is never influenced by a person’s social distinctions such as caste, reputation, prestige, property, rank, status, or wealth.
(3.) Through Jesus Christ, believers may come into an intimate, personal relationship with GOD, and are no longer merely “objects” and “things” that have been created. While GOD appears to respond to differences among persons on the basis of their specific needs, the differences actually result by their participation in relationship with, or distance from GOD.
(4.) In addition to new information and knowledge about sacred events, history, divine operations, and eternal purposes, believers are given special spirit content from GOD (we say, divine DNA), and this makes them “new persons.” They continue to experience life challenges like everyone else upon the earth, however, they practice disciplines and “sacraments” whereby they maintain a constant awareness of GOD.
There is far more to be said, properly shared, and spiritually understood. (For example, (5.) naughty behavior and bad conduct are not the actual focus of divine judgment. Human deeds will be examined to identify the divine substance they express and generate. It is not about what you do, then, so much as what you contain.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10: 17, KJV)
