God's Promised Blessings!
"Blessed is he who reads and those who hear
the words of this prophecy, and keep those
things which are written in it; for the time is
near."
Revelation 1: 3
Those starting a career in sales are taught the principle
of “features and benefits.” So, after describing features
of products, it’s important to convey benefits the product
provides. The principle of “features and benefits” is
evident everywhere in commercial advertising.
While the Bible is not selling a product, it clearly notes
the benefits that accrue to those who read it and put its
words into practice. This is most clearly seen in the
book of Revelation.
Both Apostle John and Jesus Christ Himself say that
keeping prophetic words of Revelation bring blessings
to those who read and embrace its words. Revelation
provides its own motivation for reading the book
and
being guided by what it says.
Given the apocalyptic nature of the book, the
Spirit added the promise of blessing as extra
motivation reading this last book of the Bible.
Set a goal to read through Revelation in the
coming days and anticipate how God will
keep His promise of blessing to you.
"Those who would have the blessings of
God’s testimonies must come under the
bonds of his statutes."
Matthew Henry
