Books can be entertaining and also
educational for adults as well as children, so we must always choose
our books very carefully.
God has two books in heaven, and in
them He records some very important information that concerns you and
me and everyone else who has been or ever will be born on this earth.
One of those books is the BOOK OF LIFE. The other is a set of books
that God calls the BOOK OF WORKS.
When, you took your very first breath, God put a soul into
your body and immediately wrote your name down in the BOOK OF LIFE. He
does that for every person who is born into this world.
During our lifetime, God makes sure
that we hear that Jesus Christ, the SON OF GOD, became a man so that
He could take all of the sins of the world upon himself and pay for
those sins by dying on a cross. He did that for us more than 2,000
years ago. Every sin ever committed, beginning with those of Adam and
Eve, and including the sins of the last person who will be born on
this earth, were placed upon Jesus Christ and judged on that cross.
God gives every one of us a "DECIDER",
which is also called a "VOLITION", so that we can make up our own
minds about the Lord Jesus Christ. Everyone must choose to either
believe that Jesus died for him, which is THE GOOD WORK OF GOD, or he
must choose to stand before God with his own good works instead.
If a person decides to believe in Jesus
Christ as his Saviour, his name will remain written in the BOOK OF
LIFE, and he will be rewarded in heaven. However, if a person refuses
to believe in Jesus Christ as his Saviour, because he thinks his own
good works are going to please the Lord, his name will be blotted out
of the BOOK OF LIFE and written in the BOOK OF WORKS when he dies.
(Revelation 20:11-15)
God is fair, and there will be a final judgment or exam for
those who will not believe in Jesus Christ during their lifetime. When
they stand before Him at the final judgment, God will open the BOOK OF
LIFE and show that unbeliever where his or her name was written, and
he will see that it was blotted out. Then God will open the BOOK OF
WORKS and find the name of that unbeliever in it, and then cast him
into the Lake of Fire that is being prepared for the Devil and his
angels.
KEEP YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE!
Believe that Jesus died on the cross as your substitute and spend
eternity with HIM.
