You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. (Deuteronomy 4:2)
- Words matter.
- Especially when they are the very words of God.
- Moses warned Israel, “You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God”.
- Moses often reminded Israel of God’s mercy and faithfulness to them in the past.
- But he also stressed the importance of obedience to God’s commands as they prepared to enter the Promised Land.
- He told them that obedience would result in blessings of life and a rich inheritance.
- Every command and regulation mattered to God.
- The value His people placed on God’s Word showed their view of Him.
- Today, when we value God’s Word, handle it with great care, and obey what it says, we give God the reverence He truly deserves.
- God’s Word needs no additions or subtractions.
