Nothing Added or Taken Away

What we find at the end of Revelation, part of the epilogue of the book is a statement that should be for us, a resounding encouragement and warning, that the Word of God can and ought to be believed upon and trust, and also not edited to fit a narrative or system other than the one which God has given to us, that we might know how to glorify and enjoy Him. God takes most seriously the content of His Word, being His perfect revelation of His purpose and plan for those to whom the Word if given, such that whether you add -18- or subtract -19-, you are condemned unto curse and having your name taken away from His book of life. As a final expression of who is sealed in Christ, a dweller in the city, and whose name is included in the Lamb's book of life, it is those who take God at His Word.
