Revelation 21:27

Is Your Name In the Book?

"Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life."  (Revelation 21:27)  Enter what? Heaven!  The question most important throughout the ages, it is the deepest and most renowned in the mind of God, going beyond every word in every secular book ever written; THE Number 1 question of the universe is  ...  Is Your Name In The Book?

"But now, please forgive their sin--but if not,

then blot me out of the book you have written."

(Exodus 32:32)

O, Moses!  He knew the importance of "The Book."  The above statement of Moses is one of the most profound utterances of people in the Bible, other than Jesus Christ our Lord.  Moses came down from the mountain and discovered the children of Israel worshipping a golden calf, dancing naked, engrossed in all manner of evil and sin  ...  and Moses said to God, if you won't forgive them, then send me to Hell  ... in essence, that's what he meant; he said blot me out of Your book.  Who would be willing to go to Hell for another?  Moses' statement prevails in my spirit continually  ... his love for the children of Israel  ...  Then, the LORD said unto Moses, "Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book."  (Exodus 32:33)  What book was he talking about?  The Lamb's Book of life.  

"However, do not rejoice that the

spirits submit to you, but rejoice that

your names are written in heaven."

(Luke 10:20)

There are two books  ... The Book of life, wherein is written the name of every person ever born.  Then, the book "of dire interest to you and me," the Lamb's Book of Life, in which are written the names of every person born again "of water and of Spirit," every one who has received salvation through the precious blood of the Lamb, our LORD Jesus Christ!

"The three R's"

A book of infinite more value than the notable "Three R's" is the Holy Bible, which has three R's of its own  ...  Restoration, Revival, and Revelation!    Anything you need answered about life and all of its struggles is found in the Holy Bible.  There is no greater Wisdom than is Spiritually documented in the pages written by men who were "breathed on" by the Holy Spirit of God!

"He who overcomes, will, like them, be dressed in white.  I will never blot out his name 

from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels."

(Revelation 3:5)

"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those

who practice magic arts, the idolators and all liars-- their place will be in the fiery lake

of burning sulfur.  This is the second death."

(Revelation 21:8)

God is pretty particular about who gets in "The Book" and who gets through the pearly gates!  But, the good news is, the above scripture describes all of us, "such were some of us" ... we were all born in sin and shapen in iniquity.  The Lord Jesus Christ took all the sin and all the evil upon himself when He died for us.  He paid the price!  We need only receive Him as our Lord and Savior, be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins, and receive His Spirit and speak with tongues as His Spirit gives us the utterance.  (Acts 2:38)  Then, our names are written in the Lamb's Book of life!  Whatever you do in this life; don't neglect the most valuable and most important of all  ... get yourself in "The Book!"

"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that

they may have the right to the tree of life and may

go through the gates into the city."

(Revelation 22:14)

The million dollar question to all the world is, "Is Your Name In The Book?"
