The Mystery of the Book of Life

In Psalms 56:8, David claimed that God keeps a record of every tear we shed in His “book.” Surely that was a reference to the “Book of Life,” a concept that is only found in Judaism and Christianity. It is mentioned sixteen times in the Bible. Since God is omniscient—and He knows all things past, present, and future—why would He need a book or a registry of all His people? Could this just be metaphorical, a symbolic way God compares a heavenly truth to an earthly object? Or is “The Book of Life” literal? Listen and decide.
