And yet some people actually
imagine that the revelation in God’s Word is not enough to meet our needs. They
think that God from time to time carries on an actual conversation with them,
chatting with them, satisfying their doubts, testifying to His love for them,
promising them support and blessings. As a result, their emotions soar; they
are full of bubbling joy that is mixed with self-confidence and a high opinion
of themselves. The foundation for these feelings, however, does not lie within
the Bible itself, but instead rests on the sudden creations of their
imaginations. These people are clearly deluded. God’s Word is for all of us and
each of us; He does not need to give particular messages to particular people.
Jonathan
Edwards
