Hello lovely people,
So, my OCD-style thoughts haven’t been at all as bad recently. I’ve been becoming more conscious of God’s grace and love in my life, and it is calming all my fears, which is great. However, there is one worry that I have, which began a while back, and I’m not even sure if this is the thread I should post this in. It’s just that I read this passage of Scripture:
"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to these words, God will add to that person the disasters written about in this book.19 And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away that one's share of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are written about in this book.”
Revelation 22:18-19 (NCV)
When I read this, it made me worry that I’ve accidentally added or taken away from His Word. I became really anxious, because the other day, I’d written a blog about God’s grace, and I was reading it out loud to my parents. I’d written certain things about grace and put relevant Scripture into brackets, but as I read it out loud, I felt like my parents would get confused that what I was saying was word-for-word Scripture, as I was mentioning verses and then reading out loud relevant things, so it was as if I was reciting Scripture. I’m not explaining this very well but it has made me really worry that I’ve added to God’s Word, and now I’m worried that I’m condemned.
I don’t think I really understand these verses in Scripture very much
