Key Verse

“… If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 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…” (Revelation 22:18,19).  

Text —  Revelation 22:17-21

Message

The warning against the modifications of God’s commandment is replete in the Scriptures. “What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it” (Deuteronomy 12:32). In the last book of the Bible, the Lord in emphasizing His character of infallibility and unchangeableness charged everyone not to add to or subtract from the Word of God. He expects that the commandments He has given to man must retain the original truth, not to be revised by addition or subtraction. Dear youth, avoid any assembly where the Word of God is being distorted.

The untold suffering mankind is experiencing today is the inevitable outcome of the mutilation of the Law of God. For instance, God’s original plan for the marriage institution has undergone several modifications to accommodate human ideologies like polygamy, homosexuality, bestiality, gay wedlock and other atrocious anomalies. The removal of biblical landmarks flouts the Lord’s unchangeableness and nothing but misery would follow such action. Run away from any form of disobedience to God’s word.
