He keeps such a meticulous record of man’s deeds, both good and evil, so that Jesus will not shortchange anyone on the day of judgment. Like a friend recently told me, “God is the best Accountant”. When the priests spoke words which proved that they feared the Lord, a (not “the” which proves that there is more than one) Book of Remembrance was written to record their act of faith.įor believers, the records in these books will be referred to when it’s time to stand before Jesus to receive rewards.įor sinners (unbelievers), the Books of Remembrance about them will be referred to so as to determine the severity of their punishment in the lake of fire. And I will have compassion on them and spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” Then you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve Him.” (MALACHI 3:16-18 AMP) “They will be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “on that day when I publicly recognize them and openly declare them to be My own possession. “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another and the LORD paid attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name. It is probably the angels in heaven who record the deeds of men in such books as they happen in real-time, as can be seen from the following passage: These two types of books are written at different points in time.įirstly, Books of Remembrance are written progressively as time passes. Hi dear reader, the passage above teaches us that there are at least two types of books about us that God has in heaven: Books of Remembrance which records the deeds of every person, and the Book of Life which records the names of every person who will have eternal life.Īdditionally, we learn that the only criteria for someone to be thrown into the lake of fire is that his name is not in the Book of Life. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15 AMP) This is the second death, the lake of fire. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and Hades (the realm of the dead) surrendered the dead who were in them and they were judged and sentenced, every one according to their deeds. Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life and the dead were judged according to what they had done as written in the books. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. “And I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
