Revelations 22:19 " And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book".
Jesus said " I come in the volume of the book, it is written of me". The Holy Bible, the written word of God given to man to correct him, rebuke him and instruct him in righteousness, that a man of God might be thoroughly furnished unto every good work.It is the lamp unto our feet which leads guides and direct our path on the narrow road to salvation. It is complete and perfect without fault nor flaws. His word doesn't need anything added to it nor anything which needs to be taken away. It is everything we need when we need it.
In our text today we have a warning from Jesus Himself and the danger of adding and subtracting from His word. It is aimed against the willful distortion of His message which is written in this book for the soul purpose of saving lost souls. Any one who feels the need to add to or take away from the perfection of Christ shows that they are not a true believer and will not participate in eternal life or the blessings of the promises of this book. we must be careful not to willfully with the intent of fulfilling personal agendas and fleecing the flock. Many have misused God's word to give them material gain and for personal power and prosperity.
God's word is perfect, it is able to supply our every need. It is our weapon of war, our shelter in the storm, our way out of no way, bread when we are hungry, and water in dry places. Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the life, and through Him God has supplied our every need. Let us not add to nor subtract from but just receive Him as He is.
