“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Revelation 21:12
Friends, am not inspired to teach deeply on this topic but to remind you the important of having your name written down the book of life.
From the text, you will notice two things there;
1. “The books were opened…”: Those that there name will be found in these books are the doomed ones. That book was made for the sinner. The scripture have already told us that these books contain the name of the multitude of people which are trading on the ‘broad’ ways of sin. You will agree with the Bible that today many people are “lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God”. These are those that their names are in the book of death.
You cannot escape the damnation of hell if your name is still in those books.
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way which leadeth to distruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13 -14.
2. “…and another book was opened…”: This is a single book not books. This shows that those that will be found in the book are few. These are those which are washed with the blood of the lamb, those that their sins are forgiven and forgotten, those that walk in the newness of life, those that daily overcome temptations and trials. These are the people that their name will be found in this book.
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:14.
They are few not many. The question now is;
Is your name written in those books are that book?
The earlier you discover the answer to these questions the better for you.
God is not willing that any man should perish but that we should come to realization and repentance.
Friend today is that day that you MUST endeavor to put your record straight before God. He loves and cherishes you.
