We know from the great judgment day scene in Revelation that books will be opened. Daniel 12 also mentions these books that are to be opened. We are quite sure that the Bible will be one of the books. The book of deeds will be there. The Lamb's book of life will be there and also the book of remembrance.
Let us look to see what it takes to get our name in this book. It is a very good book to have your name in.
Malachi 3:16 "Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name."
Those who fear the LORD are those who obey His voice. The commandments given to us via the Bible are these words. Our respect for these laws of God go to the very core of our relationship with God.
Those who esteem His name. The name of God is to be reverenced and held in the highest of honor. There will be many who call on His name, but will not be accepted of Him. Matthew 7:21 quotes Jesus when He said: "Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of My Father Who is in heaven".
Obedience to God's commands is the only way to get your name in that book of remembrance. And if our name is in that book, it is also in the Lambs book of life, and our deeds are judged favorable by God in the last day.
See what you can do with your life, to put your name in the book of remembrance.
