A biblical theology of guidance allows for two categories of
means by which God directs His children: objective and
subjective. There is one objective means of guidance and four
subjective. ONE OBJECTIVE MEANS OF GUIDANCE The one objective,
unchanging standard of guidance for the believer in Christ is
the written Word of God, the Scriptures. This is the primary
means by which a Christian determines the will of God. The
psalmist declares his assurance, “Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path” (Ps 119:105). The Scriptures are
sufficient for our growth and maturity in Christ: “All Scripture
is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of
God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Tim
3:16-17). And Jesus made it clear that the Spirit of God would
guide us in our understanding of the Word. “But when He, the
Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth;
for He will not speak on His own initiative
