Jesus, is coming again. Is your name in the Book of Life? How do you know?


Revelation is such a blessing.  Studying this book brings blessing, light, love and grows faith, awe and wonder.  We see Jesus through John's time on Patmos.  Our Jesus is no weakling.  He is awesome in power. 

Revelation 19:11-16  Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.  And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.  His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns.  He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.  He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.  And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.  Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword that with it He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.  He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of almighty God.  And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:  KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."

He is sovereign and Lord over all.  He was and is and is coming again.

I wanted to be sure my name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life spoken of in Chapter 20.  There is only one qualification to have your name written in the Book of Life.  Salvation.  We must be saved.
How does salvation happen?  By confessing Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and living my life for Him.  It's not enough to just call Jesus Lord.  He says many will call Me Lord, and He will say I never knew them, Matthew 7:22-23.  We must surrender our lives to Him and truly make Him our Lord.

If you haven't done this, now would be the perfect time to ask Him to save you and to be Lord of your life. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead.  Give Him your life.  Then you will know that your name is written in the Book of Life. You will be saved, once and for always.

Don't wait.  Begin a new life in Christ today while there is still time.
