Is your name written in heaven?
“There shall by no means enter it [the heavenly Jerusalem] anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” [2]
How does one’s name get written into the Lamb’s Book of Life? The answer is by believing in the Lamb of God and following Him while here on earth. And who is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin that keeps people from entering New Jerusalem. The Lamb is none other than the King of kings and Lord of lords Jesus Christ.
“Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man [Jesus Christ] whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him [Jesus] from the dead.” [3]
Don’t wait another moment. Ask God to forgive your sins based on what His Son Jesus did for you on the cross... He sacrificed Himself to wash away your sins. Receive His forgiveness! And place your trust in Christ alone to save you both in this life and in the next. Those who confess Christ before people, He confesses before His Father in heaven. This is how one's name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.” [4]
