* Revelation 20: Those in the book of life.


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.

13  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.


14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


Agreeing with scriptures is that which will be critical at the judgment seat of Christ.  When we agree with scripture and form our lives by the instructions of scripture we agree with God and set our feet in a good way of God and set ourselves for that judgment of God which is coming.

II Corinthians 5

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him.

10  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

11  Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;




***

Therefore build your lives on scripture.  Meditate on those scriptures day and night to give you power to do those scriptures as you live on this present earth.  For we will be judged by those scriptures and the way we do those scriptures as we live on this earth.

We will be judged by that which the Word says and the way we do that which the Word says.

Jesus is the Word.

We cannot love Jesus and cast aside The Word.


***

Can a person be removed from "the book of life" ?

By the following scripture we know a person can be removed from the book of life.

Jesus says:

Revelation 3:5   He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

We overcome by turning to God in prayer over each problem and hearing from God by the Holy Spirit and doing that which God shows us to do and by continuing in the Word of God as long as we live on this earth.
