Last time we learned about “the Books” , a permanent record in Heaven of everybody's deeds and thoughts. All things a man thinks and does are clearly entered, nothing will be secret any more. Sadly, it's also recorded when a person says, “No” or “I refuse” to Jesus and to God. God makes a record of those who desire to stand on their own works and those works will determine their eternal destiny.

Now let's consider the most important book in history- the Lamb's Book of Life. Jesus is the “Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world”, it's His book. It records the people who have eternal life with Him. It is not a book you read, like your Bible, it's one you get to be in, like God's family record. Every person who receives Jesus as Savior and Lord is entered. My name is there next to the other M's, and the thief who died next to Jesus is listed. And..new names are being entered until the end of time.

A curious process is involved- When a person surrenders his or her life to Jesus- says. “I belong to you, Lord”, 2 things happen.

First, all your bad acts and thoughts prior to that moment are erased, deleted from “the Books”. They are completely gone, washed away like a bright red stain to “whiter than snow” It's like the judge saying, ”All charges are dismissed, you are free to go.” This is why guilt is gone and a person is full of joy. The weight and record of sins is gone.

Second, your name is entered in the Lamb's Book of Life with millions of others!

This is the beautiful work of our Father in Heaven. Being in the Book of Life is the ultimate belonging and the ultimate freedom. It is what you were created for. It is the start of adventures both in this life and in the amazing life to come. Your name is important to God. You are listening or reading this because He wants your name in the Book of Life in Heaven's Library!
Read it all in Revelation 20:11-15
