The Holy Spirit and the Word of God
The Holy Spirit does not lead believers away from Scripture. He glorifies Christ, illuminates the written Word, convicts of sin, and helps God’s people understand and obey what God has spoken. Any claimed revelation that contradicts Scripture is not from the Spirit of truth.Why This Matters
When teachers say that Christians must move beyond Scripture to hear God, they open the door to confusion, false authority, and spiritual manipulation. God’s people need confidence that the Bible is sufficient, authoritative, clear, and trustworthy for faith and practice.Continue Learning with From NAR to Christ
