   Spurgeon uses 1 Samuel 28 as a reference point to discuss the   
   sufficiency of Scripture and the futility of seeking supernatural   
   guidance beyond biblical revelation.   
      
   He emphatically argues that if someone cannot understand the path to   
   salvation through Scripture, no supernatural messenger could provide   
   additional clarity[1].   
      
   Spurgeon asserts that Holy Scripture is “so perfect, so complete” that   
   it requires no supplementary declarations about the future state, and   
   that everything one needs to know can be found within its pages[1].   
      
   He underscores this by highlighting that while the Holy Spirit’s agency   
   is crucial for understanding salvation, the fundamental truths remain   
   clear: “Salvation is ascribed wholly to God, and man’s ruin only to   
   man.”[1]   
      
   Interestingly, he also critiques false doctrines that seek alternative   
   spiritual guidance, noting such ideas originate from misleading   
   spiritual sources[1].

   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
