Text — Revelation 22:16-21
Message
Complete means wholeness, wholesomeness, entire and perfect. The complete truth is the Bible. Everything that the Bible says and instructs us to do is what we need for a good relationship with God and a successful walk here on Earth. This is because the BIBLE is the Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. Knowing fully well that the Bible is the complete truth, we must preach it as it is and never add our opinions to it or remove a part from it that we don’t like. If you add to the Bible or remove a part from it, it means you’re indirectly telling God that you’re now wiser than His word.
A person can add or subtract from God’s word through unbelief and disobedience. This kind of attitude will attract God’s displeasure and punishment in hell-fire.
To avoid this, boys and girls are encouraged to listen attentively to God’s Word, read it everyday, meditate on its messages, believe its commandments and instructions, act on the word, and share with others. This is the way to partake in God’s blessings.
