![]() ![]() Understanding the “Book of Life” and “Lamb’s Book of Life” as the same book, we should focus on the importance of having our names in it.

It simply says, to the one who is in the book, and who conquers in faith: I will never wipe your name out. “The promise : ‘I will not erase his name from the book of life’ does not necessarily imply that some do have their names erased. It’s worth sharing John Piper’s statement on the idea that Revelation 3:5 suggests God does erase some names from the Book of Life. In essence, the Book of Life serves as a testament to those saved who will enjoy eternity with the Lord.Īlthough some theologians theorize as to whether the names were chosen ahead of time (election) or whether those whose names had been in the Book of Life can be blotted out (branches of Christianity that believe you can lose your salvation), at the end of days, Christians will want their names in the Book of Life. Revelation 20:15: Anyone who does not have their name in the book of life during the End Days will end up in the lake of fire.

There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. "At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. But those who are proud and self-willed, so that they will not come into God's righteousness, shall have their doom accordingly they themselves decide it. Psalms 69:27-28: The psalmist prays that the wicked will be “blotted out of the book of life.” Matthew Henry commented on these verses: “God shuts not out any from that righteousness the gospel excludes none who do not, by unbelief, shut themselves out.
