IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE?

 

                   



Our names are a very important part of our identity. They carry personal, family, and historical connections. The Bible says of a book in heaven called the Book of Life, referring to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. This Book records the names of all people who have been forgiven of sin, washed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ and will inherit eternal life. The Book of Life, contains the names of the Apostles, Prophets and all those who have believed and trusted in Jesus Christ alone as their Saviour.

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. Revelation 21:27

We have all sinned against God.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:10

Is your name written in the Book of Life? In order to answer this question, please examine yourself according to the moral laws of God (the Ten Commandments).

If you tell a lie, that makes you a liar.

Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight. Proverbs 12:22

If you steal anything, regardless of its value, you’re a thief.
Thou shalt not steal. Exodus 20:15

If you’ve used God’s name in vain, you’re a blasphemer.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Exodus 20:7
 
If you’ve looked with lust, you have committed adultery at heart.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Matthew 5:27-28

If you hate someone, you’re a murderer at heart.

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.1 John 3:15

If you answered yes, by your own admission, you’re a lying thieving, blasphemer, adulterer, and murderer at heart. Sin is so serious for a holy, just, and righteous God. Ten out of Ten will die. We are all on death row; we have a big blue sky as our holding cell, great air conditioning, the privilege of everything we see and hear that God created, and the pleasure of eating and drinking, yet we are all standing in a line waiting to die, and it should be our greatest concern to know where we will end up after death. Our appointment with death comes with an unavoidable judgement.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9:27

Will you be innocent or guilty on the day of Judgement? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in God’s eternal prison a place called Hell. You should be aware of the importance of having your name written in the Book of Life, because if not, hell is awaiting, and that is not God’s will for you.


And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 
Matthew 10:28

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15

To have one’s name written in the Book of Life only happens when you believe, repent (to repent means, to be sorry for who you are and what you are. To change your mind from unbelief to belief in Jesus Christ) and trust in Jesus Christ alone, what He done for you through His death, burial, and resurrection, His holy and precious blood shed on the cross will cleanse you from all sin. You will be filled with the Holy Spirit and born again (changed from above).

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. John 3:7

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. John 20:31

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 1:7

Once a name is written in the Book of Life, Jesus promises that he will never blot it out, giving them eternal security.

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 10:28


In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Titus 1:2

Please make the right decision today so your name gets written in the Book of Life, as no one is guaranteed tomorrow your soul is precious to God.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him

that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life. John 5:24


Blessings in Christ,
