93 “You shall not add to the word which I command you…”
Deuteronomy 4:2
The Word of the Lord is complete, and we must be careful not to add to it or take away what God has said. We are also warned against this in the book of Revelation.
“If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.”
Revelation 22:19
God has spoken and we are to hear and obey and not seek further words that are not from the Lord. All other so-called sacred writings are false and must not be adhered to. We have the Word of the Lord, fully and finally set down for us so that we are not lead astray be other false sects and religions. That Word should be so precious to us that we read it every day and even learn it by heart that we may call in it in times of trouble.
The scribes of old who copied the Word so that other could read it were meticulous in their care to copy it accurately. They would not deviate from anything that we written down and so the Scriptures are preserved for us in all their beauty and correctness.
Let us every day honour the Word of God as keep it close to our heart. Let us read, meditate and learn it all that we may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
