Here let us abide here we are safe if we stir a step further, we are in danger of being either entangled or seduced.
Matthew Henrey’s Commentary on Jude
God has spoken.
This statement brings great comfort to God’s children. Our Lord and Creator, the one who holds the universe in His hands; the Almighty, who is actively causing all things to exist at every second, and without whom nothing would exist, apart from whom nothing does exist. Our God has spoken to us.
Not only has God given us His written word, but He has given us the Word Himself
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1, ESV
The Father decreed in eternity past that He would send His Son for our iniquity. Jesus Christ, the eternal Logos, the Word of God came to the Earth and took on the flesh of His own creation to die once and for all, for the sins of the elect. There is only one Word that has been made flesh, and there is only one word that has been given to God’s people as a rule of faith and obedience: the Holy Scriptures, contained in the 66 books of the Bible.
There is a certain finality with how the Word made flesh was and is the continual revelation of God to man, and there is also a finality with how the written word of God is a special revelation of God to man. There are no other words-made-flesh, Jesus is the only one. Just as there is only one written word of God.
I am not saying that God never uses extraordinary means to communicate to His creation. He is God, He does as He pleases, but what I am saying is betrayed in the word “extraordinary.” God has revealed how He works ordinarily in the Church and among His people. He has given us a word that we can rely on, and now that the word has been given, He works through that word to edify and build His Church.
So we don’t reject modern-day prophesies just to be contrarian, or because we don’t like them, we reject modern-day prophesy (remember, prophets claim to speak directly on behalf of God; that is the definition I am using) because God has spoken, and speaks using his word.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17, ESV
