"He that overcomes I will cloth in white raiment; and I will not blot his name out of the book
of life, but I will speak his name before my Father, and before his angels" ( Revelation
3:5).
In the timelessness of God, through His grace and by choice, knowing the beginning from the end of each life, He chose
certain one's to be His and indelibly placed them in the book of life. It is a book that records every life. It is God's address
book of a part of His creation. And He would that every soul that comes into existence, one day, be His. (Lk.10:20;
Phil.4:3; Heb.12:23).
The man Moses, who was chosen by God to deliver the Israelites out of their bondage in Egypt, first made mention of
the book of life while on the journey to the promised land. He was beset by the peoples unbelief and interceded on their behalf
for God to spare them though they committed grievious sins.
"And it came to pass on the next day, that Moses said to the people, You have sinned a great sin; perhaps
I shall make an atonement for your sin.
And Moses returned to the Lord, and said, oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
Yet now, if thou will forgive their sin-; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which you have written.
And the Lord said to Moses, whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book" ( Exodus
32:30-33).(emphasis added)
The prophet Daniel saw into the distant future as far as the tribulation of the end times and spoke these truths that
God gave him.
"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people,
and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time
thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."( Daniel 12:1).
If you are one of His you are in Christ when you get home. Your wisdom comes from God as well as your humility
and love. Nothing will stop you from recieving eternal life. You are not in the book of Adam which is a book of death;
you are in God's Book Of Life forever ( Phil.4:3; Rev 21:27; 22:19).

"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven
fled away, and there was found no place for them.
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which
is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works".(Rev.20:11-12)( emphasis added)
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire"( Rev.20:15).
"And the devil that decieved them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are,
and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever"( Rev.20:10).
See also Heb.12:23; 1Cor.15:22; Luke 10:20; Rev 13:8;17:8
THE SECOND DEATH
Those who do not come to the throne of God's grace by Jesus Christ will suffer the second death in their resurrection
body. ( See Gen.2:17; 3:19; Rom. 5:12; 6:23; 1Cor.15:21; Heb. 6:2; Mt. 18:8; 25:41,46; Rev.14:11;
20:10,12)
Death (spiritual) is the state of the natural or unregenerate person, in Adam, as still in sins, alienated from the
life of God, and destitute of the Spirit. Prolonged beyond the death of the body, spiritual death is a state of eternal separation
from God in conscious suffering. This is called "the second death" (Rev.2:11; 20:6,14; 21:8).
