The Church Triumphant

God’s Forever Word Revelation 22:12-21

Jan 12, 2025

TRANSCRIPT

Date: January 12, 2025 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

There is no evidence that the Bible has been systematically revised, edited, or tampered with. The sheer volume of original biblical manuscripts makes recognizing any attempt to distort God’s Word simple. Therefore, no central doctrine of the Bible is doubted because of the few inconsequential differences among the manuscripts. However, since Satan asked Even, “Has God said?”, the Bible has always been under attack, it is under attack today, and it will be under attack until the Living Word returns to the earth. The latest effort is to “deconstruct” the Bible – tearing down the framework that supports the truth of the Scriptures and reframing it to accommodate the culturally acceptable sins of our day. Beware of the many new Bibles being printed today that contain these culturally-relevant commentaries. Just remember, all those who have attempted to change, adapt, alter, modify, as well as those who have tried to dispute, disavow, or disrespect the Bible, are dead, and the Word of God is very much alive. According to our next sermon in this series, such will be the case with those today who add to or take away from God’s Word. We can be confident that the Bible we have today is the same Bible that was originally written. The Bible is God’s Word, and we can trust it (2 Timothy 3:16; Matthew 5:18). In our third sermon in the series, “The Church Triumphant,” we will look at the subject of “God’s Forever Word!” Thank you for forwarding these sermon study guides to those you think might be interested. We are encouraged by the response we’ve received from viewers worldwide.

Old Testament Reading – Isaiah 55:1-11 New Testament Reading – 2 Timothy 2:1-12

Martin Luther was a German theologian and religious reformer who was the catalyst for the 16 th century Protestant Reformation.

In Matthew 16:18, Jesus told His disciples, “I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

In Revelation 22:18-19, Jesus warned those who would try to adapt the Word of God to fit the culture.

However, mankind has never been settled with God’s Word, which is why it has always been and always will be under assault.

Jesus said, if anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book:

Jesus said, if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
