The Lambs Book Of Life

But nothing that defiles or profanes or is unwashed shall ever enter it, nor anyone who commits abominations (unclean, detestable, morally repugnant things) or practices falsehood, but only those whose names are recorded in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Revelation 21:27

I want to talk about the Lamb’s Book of Life here. If your experiences are anything like mine you were taught that not very many people will ever have their name written in this Book. But yesterday at Bible Study the Spirit asked me this question: Whose Book this was? I answered Him that it is Jesus’ Book. He then brought to my mind several scriptures.

Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages). Hebrews 13:8

[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. John 17:2

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. John 3:16

For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God [acknowledge Him to His honor and to His praise]. Romans 14:11

The Lamb’s Book of Life is Jesus’ Book of Life. Jesus never changes, He is always the same, so His Book cannot change either. The Truth is that Jesus has been given the power over all flesh. He was given this power so that all that He has been given may have eternal life. Jesus tells us in John 17:2 that our Father has given Him all of us, so His Book must include all of our names. If the Book doesn’t, then John 17:2 is a lie, because that would mean that Jesus was only given some of us. 

Our Father loves the world, not just those of us in the world who understand that He does. We know this wonderful Truth now, others will come to know it later, but all of us will one day understand and when we do, we will all bow and acknowledge the Truth that will set us free. The recorder of the Lamb’s Book of Life knows this Truth and every name, but one, has been recorded in it, John 17:12. 

Look at Revelation 21:27 again, notice that things can be washed? We all need washed! Notice also that we are told that no one who commits abominations, not who committed abominations are allowed in eternity. We all have committed abominations, but in eternity we will all have been washed and none of us will commit them. The Lamb’s Book of Life is full, Jesus was that successful!
