Why is it important to not modify God's word?

Answered in 1 source

Modifying God's word often stems from a desire to please men rather than God, leading to spiritual error.

The importance of adhering strictly to God's word cannot be overstated. When Jeroboam altered the date of the Passover and made changes to the worship practices, it reflected his underlying motives of self-preservation and convenience rather than obedience to God. Such modifications undermine the divine authority and perfection of God's commands. Those who change scripture often do so to make the message more palatable to their audience, compromising truth for acceptance. Believers are called to uphold God's word as it is presented, trusting in its power to transform lives rather than attempting to 'improve' it for human approval.
