Just another book  .  .   you think?

Rev. 20:18-19

I warn everyone who listens to the statements of the prophecy [the predictions and the consolations and admonitions pertaining to them] in THIS BOOK:

If anyone shall add anything to them, God will add and lay upon him the plagues (the afflictions and the calamities) that are recorded and described in THIS BOOK.

And if anyone cancels or takes away from the statements of THE BOOK of this prophecy [these predictions relating to Christ's kingdom and its speedy triumph, together with the consolations and admonitions or warnings pertaining to them],

God will cancel and take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the city of holiness (purity and hallowedness), which are described and promised in THIS BOOK.

Think about this today:

THIS BOOK contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers.

THIS BOOK’s doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable.

Read THIS BOOK to be wise, believe it to be safe and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you and comfort to cheer you.

THIS BOOK is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword and the Christian's character. Here paradise is restored, heaven opened and the gates of hell disclosed.

Christ is THIS BOOK’s  grand object, our good is its design and the glory of God its end.

THIS BOOK should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.

Read THIS BOOK slowly, frequently, and prayerfully.

THIS BOOK is given you in life and will be opened in the judgment and will be remembered forever.

THIS BOOK involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.
