Summary
Zac Poonen emphasizes that under the new covenant, God speaks directly to us through Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit, not merely through prophets, preachers, or even the Bible alone. He urges believers to develop a personal, direct relationship with Jesus by maintaining a clear conscience, being honest with God, and listening to the Holy Spirit's voice rather than relying solely on external teaching or written Scripture.

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
The distinction between the Old and New CovenantsThe speaker introduces the concept of the new covenant by contrasting how God spoke in the Old Testament through prophets with how He speaks now.
The danger of only listening to human preachersIf a believer only listens to the words of a preacher and not to Christ directly, they are essentially living under the old way of hearing God.
Why the Bible was not immediately printedThe delay in printing the Bible suggests that knowing God is not primarily about possessing a book, but about the Holy Spirit exalting Christ in our lives.
The risk of knowing the Bible without knowing ChristIt is possible to believe everything written in the Bible and still be lost if one has never personally come into contact with Jesus.
The importance of obeying your conscienceArguing with your conscience when it convicts you of wrongdoing is a pathway to spiritual ruin; instead, following the light leads you to Christ.
