The Pure Word of God

“Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”

 (Proverbs 30:5-6)

I remember as a child going to a spring of water flowing from a hillside and drinking pure, clear water unlike any water I have had since. Houses and their accompanying septic tanks and lateral lines have been built above that spring since then. That water is no longer safe for drinking.

In God’s pure word we find warnings about hell, about Godless living. We also find heaven, grace, hope and forgiveness. Unfortunately, some folks have attempted to add to His pure word thus polluting it as the old spring is polluted. As the Bible says,“Let God be true and every man a liar.” (Romans 3:4) The pure Word of God is still the pure Word of God. Accept none of the corrupted words of men who, being not led of the Holy Spirit, are inspired by the devil.
