The Book Of Life
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it.
The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for
them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and
books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead
were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea
gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that
were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then
death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the
second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was
thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11-15
A book has been written about many of us. In it, our birth date
is entered and the date we entered eternity is also in it. Will your name show
up in that book of life? If your name is there, you and I will see each other
again.
How can we convince those who have been deceived that what they
believe in this world is important in the next world? Maybe
by telling them the realities of how the Bible describes the other side.
Do you want shame and contempt, torments, and a weeping and knashing
of teeth?
Remember, God does not send us to hell, we send ourselves to
hell, or heaven.
The same Christ who talks about the
glories of heaven
also describes the horrors of hell.
