God's Got a Book!

Yes He does! And it's called the BOOK Of LIFE.

If you have known of the eternal security doctrine or more commonly known as the "Once Saved Always Saved" doctrine (OSAS), then knowledge and references to God's Book of Life is one way of countering this belief.

There are numerous argumentations you can find in the web regarding this, for it and against it. If you are a Christian, then you should seriously contemplate on this and decide on which to believe in. I for one, have just recently made up mind. During one of our pastor's preaching, he briefly touched on this subject and clearly pointed out using references in the bible, that even though your name is already written in the book of life which happened when you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, God can still erase or blot out your name.

Exodus 32:32 But now, please forgive their sin -- but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written. The Lord replied to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of the book."

Psalm 69:28 May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.

Revelation 3:5 He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.

Surely we know how extremely important it is for our names to be retained in God's book as the bible also says that only whose names are found in the book of life will enter heaven.

Daniel 12:1 But at that time your people -- everyone whose name is found written in the book -- will be delivered.

Revelation 20:15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
