Amen. Revelation 22:21b
Amen: So be it! The last word of the Bible means "so be it". That is because every word in the Bible is absolutely, positively true. Every word of prophecy, every prediction has or will come true; just as it is written. The Bible is the full word of God. Nothing needs to be added or taken away. After all that had been written, by the inspiration of God, what better final word to God's Holy word, than amen?
Now, turn in your Bible to Malachi 4:6. Go ahead, the excercise will do you good. Malachi, as you know, is the last chapter of the Old Testament. What is the last word? Well, its not amen. Praise God for that! The last word of the Old Testament is not the same as the last word of the New Testament.
At the end of the Old Testament, God didn't say "so be it". The story wasn't finished. Jesus had not yet died on the cross. Salvation for you and I had not been determined. The days of grace had not begun. Without the New Testament, you and I would have remained lost. We needed a Saviour. We needed Jesus!
Do you need Jesus today? You do? Well AMEN! So be it!
The good news is He has made Himself available. Amen! Call on Him today!
