God's word is His bond!

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.  And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll
Today I've finished the last chapter of the Bible. The above verses are verses 18 & 19 and I believe that they are relevant to us today. All of the Bible is relevant, however I believe that we need to take notice of these two verses at the end of the book.
These verses are saying that we have to make sure that we don't add anything to this prophecy or take anything away. John is being warned to write down what he's been shown without exaggerating or removing anything.
I think we need to do this to the whole Bible. This is the word of God. So often we hear people saying that they don't believe in Creation, or even in the birth and resurrection of Christ. This book is the truth. We need to make sure that we don't try and change God's word to suit ourselves. As we approach the New Year let's make sure that we resolve to take God's word as it is; let's make sure that we read it, pray about it, learn from it, live it and believe it. AMEN
