Only Overcomers Written in the Books Part 2

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Is your name written in one of Abba’s Books?  There are three of them, one of Life, Tears, and Remembrance.  Today we’ll discuss what each book entails about your life.

BOOK OF LIFE:

     Revelation 20:12 “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.”

     The Book of Life has a three fold purpose and blessings according to scripture.  Acceptance into Heaven, Rewards, and a Crown of Life.

1.    Did you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, so your name was written in this book?

2.    What did you accomplish in your life for Jesus’ Gospel?  Will you hear Matthew 25:21, ““His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord."

3.    You’ll get a Crown of Life, which we’ll lay at the feet of Jesus.

James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

    Revelation 3:5-6 says, “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.”  (6)  ““He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

      We'll cover more on Revelation Chapters 2-3 on Part 3, but know, Jesus is talking only the Christian Churches here.

BOOK (BOTTLE) OF TEARS:    

     Psalm 56:8 “You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?”

     Your tears are saved in a bottle, and recorded in your personal book. I heard it said, that when an angel is assigned to you, they read all about you.  Don’t know if that is true or not – but it sounds good!

BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE:

     Malachi 3:16  “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard [them]; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.”

     Exodus 17:14 “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”

     Malachi 3:16 shows Abba’s Grace to us.  In the days of Malachi, there were no priests or teachers left in Israel.  So the people had to remember what they were taught before that time and they followed the best they could remember.  That’s why I say Abba showed them Grace, because they did their best with the knowledge they had.

     Exodus 17:14 Strong’s Concordance says that a memorial is “a memento (or memorable thing, day or writing):—memorial, record.” I doubt it was because Abba would forget although it will be brought up on judgment day of what happened and what Abba declared.

     Personal note, I’m not sure why all these books were needed, after all, no one is going to argue with the Father of Creation, other than for rewards or judgment when we get to heaven, but I do know that the Father has a perfect reason for everything He does. Amen, Amen!

Blessings to all who read the Blogs
