Deuteronomy 4: Let's Get This Now - Verse 2

Verse 2 is one of the places in the Bible where God expressly forbids people to alter His will by adding to it or taking away from it. The generation that was about to conquer Canaan needed to get this in their hearts before they did anything else. God’s revealed covenant was perfect for what He had in mind for them. Changing it would keep His will from occurring. This principle applies today, too. The whole human race needs the whole word of God, which is the Bible (Revelation 22:18-19). Please decide to follow the whole Bible—and nothing else. By doing this, you will have a happy judgment day (John 12:48-50).
