"It's His voice that allows you to move away from the old way of life and into discipleship."
In this episode of Encounter Recovery Ministries, Rick Peterson explores the transformative power of truly hearing the voice of Christ rather than just learning about Him. Peterson passionately argues that genuine spiritual growth occurs when individuals hear Jesus directly, rather than simply absorbing information about Him through various translations of scripture.
With a sprinkle of humour and a dash of urgency, he emphasises the importance of selecting translations that remain true to the original Greek text, highlighting how even a single word can change the meaning significantly. Peterson delves into Ephesians 4:21, contrasting translations like the NIV and ESV with more literal versions such as the Legacy Standard Bible. He explains how hearing Christ’s voice through the Spirit and faithful preaching leads to regeneration and spiritual renewal.
Peterson underscores that this connection is crucial for moving away from old habits and embracing a new life in Christ. Through vivid examples from John 5 and John 10, Peterson illustrates how hearing Christ’s voice is essential for conversion and ongoing spiritual growth. He warns against superficial preaching that lacks substance and urges listeners to seek environments where gifted teachers can facilitate genuine encounters with Jesus.
This episode is not just for those seeking spiritual growth but also serves as a guide for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of scripture. If you're curious about how hearing the voice of Christ can lead to profound personal transformation, this episode is definitely worth your time.
