Is your name written in the Book of Life? We read in Revelation 20:11-15.”And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and BOOKS WERE OPENED; and another book was opened, which is the BOOK OF LIFE; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and THEY WERE JUDGED, EVERY ONE OF THEM ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS. 14And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15And IF ANYONE’S NAME WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, HE WAS THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.”
There is a condition for your name to stay in the book of life. We need to overcome and endure. We need to stay with Jesus all the way or else our name will be deleted from the Book of Life. We read in Revelation 3:1-3“ And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars, says this: ‘I KNOW YOUR DEEDS, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2‘ Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I HAVE NOT FOUND YOUR DEEDS COMPLETED IN THE SIGHT OF MY GOD. 3‘ Remember therefore what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. If therefore you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you. Verse 5‘ HE WHO OVERCOMES SHALL THUS BE CLOTHED IN WHITE GARMENTS; and I WILL NOT ERASE HIS NAME FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE, and I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels. 6‘ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
The unrighteous will NOT enter the kingdom of God. If our deeds are not complete in the sight of God our names will be deleted from the book of life. Jesus said that every tree that does not bear fruit will be cut off and burned. Every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will be cut off and thrown in the fire and burned. That goes for believers, that goes for people who believe they are saved. Their names will be removed from the Book of Life because their deeds are not complete. Many believers are living in sin. IF YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD YOU DO NOT SIN. You do the works of Jesus, you live in holiness, utter holiness. You OBEY GOD because the words of Jesus are the words of God and if you do not obey those words and if your deeds do not show you as righteous you will by no means enter the Kingdom of God.
Our deeds will determine whether our name will stay in the Book of Life. Is your name in the book of Life?
May Jesus bless you.
