BOOK OF LIFE
Today's reading: Revelation 18-22
"And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15 NLT
Particular detail is being made to make sure our names are on end-of-year documents.
We check, and double-check, our Social Security numbers, addresses and how our names are spelled on paperwork that will help us in the next few months to file our taxes.
We are triple-checked in at the doctor's office by them asking for our names, date of birth and a verification of our addresses.
Are we as fastidious about make sure our names, and the names of our loved ones, are written down the Lamb's Book of Life?
Are we secure in have prayed a prayer of salvation that places our eternity in His hands?
Are we adamant about a moment in time when we asked our Lord and Savior to forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrong?
Are we sure, doubly sure, that we know the Lord--and He knows us as His?
This information needs to be verified and confirmed before it's too late.
No one can do it for us, no one can certify your relationship with God other than you.
Is your name written in the Book of Life
"Father God, I love you. I believe in you. I need you. I'm sorry for my sins. Sorry about the way I've lived. Sorry for shutting You out. I want You in my life. I surrender. I yield. I receive Jesus as my Savior and my Lord. I believe He died for me. He rose from the dead. He's alive today. Come into me. Take me just the way I am. Now make me everything You want me to be. I believe I'm saved. I'm on my way to heaven, and I'm going to enjoy the trip. Amen."
