“I [the Apostle Paul] became minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given me towards you, to complete the word of God” (Colossians 1:25 JND).
This is an important verse, for it shows us that there was no new truth revealed after the revelations given to the Apostle Paul. Some New Testament writers, like John, wrote after Paul, but they only filled in some of the details as to prophecy, and gave a different look at what had already been revealed. They did not bring out any new truth, for the truth of the assembly was the last new truth God gave to man.
If anyone comes to you, and tries to tell you that God has revealed some new truth to them, it cannot be true. Many people have done this, such as Mohammed, who founded Islam, and later men like Joseph Smith, who founded Mormonism. There have been many others. All have claimed that they received some new truth from God. But God’s Word as we have it is complete, and God has given solemn warnings to those who try to add to it.
