Book of Life

Exodus  32:33  And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.  

Praise the Lord!!

Today we will meditate upon the book of life.

1. What is the book of life?

Wikipedia definition:

In Christianity and Judaism, the Book of Life(Hebrew: ספר החיים, transliterated Sefer HaChaimGreek: βιβλίον τῆς ζωῆς Biblíon tēs Zōēs) is the book in which God records the names of every person who is destined for Heaven or the World to Come

Yes!! Lord keeps record of all the people who would be with him in the end of days.

World knows this truth. Every religion teaches this truth that there is a book being maintained by the Almighty God. Who is righteous,holy, all knowledgeable, mighty and jealous.

2. What should we do to ensure our name is written in the book of life.

Joshua  1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.  

We have a book which is inspired by the Holy Spirit, and to ensure our name be written in the book of life.

We should
1. Meditate the word day and night.
2. Constantly communicate with others in the word.
3. Practice the commands written in the Bible.

3. Whose name will not be written in the book of life?

Galatians  5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 

Galatians 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 

Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

King David prayed like this for those who live wickedly.

Psalms  69:28  Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.  

In the end times there will be many wolves in sheep clothing. Who may appear righteous but are ravening wolf who will destroy your life.

Saints we need to be careful and lead a life which is pleasing to the Lord.

Revelation  21:27  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

4. Who shall not enter into heaven?
1. Anyone who is unholy
2. Anyone who works wickedly.
3. Anyone who constantly lies to his people.

Prayer

Father God, I come into your presence. I acknowledge myself as a sinner, I have committed lots of sins against you which doesn't make me worthy to enter your kingdom. But I come into your abundant mercy and love and promise to lead a life pleasing to you. Blot out my sins, wash me in the blood of Jesus, make me holy as you are Holy. In Jesus name. Amen

God bless
