He said, "What is the word that He spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the words that He spoke to you." 1Sa 3:17. Eli was speaking to young Samuel, the child. The Lord was calling to him and the child thought it might be his senior priest Eli's voice but Eli had long since put away the child-like belief that he once had. Samuel believed, Samuel heard. Eli was spiritually deaf.
God speaks to us in all manner of His creation. He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? Mic 6:8 -- and to keep the LORD'S commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good? Deu 10:13
Gal 3:10, 11, 19 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM." (11) Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH." (19) Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. The SEED did come, born of a virgin in Bethlehem.
With Christ Jesus, in whom we would believe, the Mosaic Laws have been fulfilled; we are no longer bound but to that which God has given us through His only begotten Son, Jesus of Nazareth. God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, (2) in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. Heb 1:1-2
We today are saved by GRACE only, through FAITH only, in CHRIST only, according to HOLY SCRIPTURE only, in GLORY TO GOD only. Love your God with all your heart, all your mind, all your might and love your neighbor as you love yourself. Trust and obey, that is truly the way!
....Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening....
1Sa 3:9
