       Praying for my family and friends.
3. How is your value of the Book of Life affected by the title of it's owner?
   1. Kevin, August 16, 2000
      It is God that is in charge of the book and a because of this, we can safely say that He will be righteous in redeeming those for whom he died and believed on His name.
   2. Donna, September 10, 2000
      He says weather we get into heaven or not.
   3. Pauline, February 16, 2001
      The value of the Book lies completely with the Author. For without the Author, there would be no Book of Life.
   4. Roger, February 22, 2001
      OUR NAMES ARE WRITTERN IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE
   5. Alan, April 4, 2001
      there is nothing of higher value than he who wrote the book, and eternal life is what we seek through him. there could be no other name.
   6. BG, June 26, 2001
      From the creation of the world
   7. Carrie, July, 20, 2001
      Jesus has control of it
   8. Linda, August 2, 2001
      AND THERE SHALL IN NO WISE ENTER INTO IT  ANYTHING THAT DEFILETH,NEITHER WHATSOEVER WORKETH ABOMINATION,OR MAKETH A LIE:BUT THEY WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE.
   9. Denice, November 3, 2001
      it is the owner who decides whos name is written in the book of life so it is of utmost value
   10. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
       He took my place so I may be part of His book.
   11. Wendy, April 12, 2002
       Jesus knows who will be in The Book and who won't. Knowing also that He is going to be fair in all judgments, makes me want to do the right thing by Him.
4. Can you think of some reasons Jesus would have for choosing this title rather than Lion, King, or Alpha and Omega?
   1. Alan, April 4, 2001
      Because our name entered therein will assure our eternal life.
   2. Carrie, July, 20, 2001
      By accepting christ we will live with him forever
   3. Linda, August 2, 2001
      BECAUSE HE IS THE CREATOR OF THE EARTH, PEOPLE, SEA, AND A LOVING PERSON THAT DESERVES THE NAME OF JESUS AFTER WHAT HE  WENT THROUGH FOR US.
   4. Denice, November 3, 2001
      because a Lamb is pure and without shame and nothing impure will ever enter it nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful
   5. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
      Because only by His sacrifice in our place as the sacrifical Lamb can we be written in the book, and be saved.
   6. Wendy, April 12, 2002
      The title says it all. It is a "Book of Life." If you aren't alive, there is only one other thing you can be!!He can put our names in it also as a record for us to view.
5. From the following scriptures, when do you conclude that names are entered into the Lamb's Book of Life?
   1. Dwight, June 26, 2000
      Whe we receive, believe and have the Son.
   2. Kevin, August 16, 2000
      When you accept Jesus as your personal Saviour. That is to say we must believe in Christ, then our names are registered.
   3. Donna, September 10, 2000
      When we become a christian.
   4. Pauline, February 16, 2001
      The moment we accept Christ's sacrifice, and He becomes our Savior, the same instant our names are recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life.
   5. Roger, February 22, 2001
      WHEN WE RECIEVE JESUS.
   6. Alan, April 4, 2001
      When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
   7. Carrie, July, 20, 2001
      When we ask the lord into our hearts.
   8. Linda, August 2, 2001
      WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN  HIM.THAT GOD HATH GIVEN ETERNAL LIFE IN HIS SON.HE THAT HATH THE SON HAS LIFE.THAT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.HE THAT RECEIVETH HIM,TO THEM HE GAVE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD.
   9. Denice, November 3, 2001
      when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior
   10. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
       When we come to Jesus as our Savior, and turn from the life of this world, and we follow Him.
   11. Wendy, April 12, 2002
       When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour
6. How did Moses, David and Paul reveal their awareness of the book of life?
   1. Tyrone, September 25, 1999
      They all revealed it when speaking about others...Moses and David as they entreated God in prayer...Paul as he exhorted the believers in Philippi.
   2. Dwight, June 26, 2000
      1) If sins weren't forgiven ... blot me out of the book.
      2) May they be blotted out of the book of life...
      3) ... whose names are in the book of life.
   3. Donna, September 10, 2000
      Talking about having their names in the book of Life.

   9. Denice, November 3, 2001
      they mention it
   10. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
       They each knew of it, and that only the redeemed would be written in it, that the wicken would be blotted out of it.
   11. Wendy, April 12, 2002
       Moses asked for himself to be blotted out of the book because his people sinned.David asked that his enemies be blotted out of the book of life.Paul wanted all Christian workers to be written in the book of life,especially those who helped him in the Christian cause.
7. How are those who are deceived by satanic earthly powers identified by their relationship to the Lamb's Book of Life?

      THEIR NAMES ARE NOT IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
   5. Alan, April 4, 2001
      names not written in the lamb's book of life
   6. BG, June 26, 2001
      They whose names are not written in the book of life will worship Satan
   7. Carrie, July, 20, 2001
      They are not in the book
   8. Linda, August 2, 2001
      AND ALL THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH SHALL WORSHIP HIM,WHOSE NAMES ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.
   9. Denice, November 3, 2001
      their names have not been written in the book of life since the creation
   10. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
       They will not be listed in it, because they have been deceived and will not be follow God's truth.
   11. Wendy, April 12, 2002
       They worship satan and not Jesus.
8. Whose names are not blotted out or erased from the Lamb's Book of Life?
   1. Kevin, August 16, 2000
      The overcomer.
   2. Donna, September 10, 2000
      Jesus will confess his name before the Father.
   3. Pauline, February 16, 2001
      He who overcomes
   4. Roger, February 22, 2001
      HE WHO OVERCOMES SHALL BE CLOTHES IN WHITE GARMENTS

      HE THAT OVERCOMETH,THE SAME SHALL BE CLOTHED,IN WHITE RAIMENT;AND I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE,BUT I WILL CONFESS HIS NAME BEFORE MY FATHER,AND BEFORE HIS ANGELS.
   9. Denice, November 3, 2001
      he who overcomes
   10. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
       Those of us that overcome the deceitfulness of this world, and follow God totally, in all areas of our lives (through His indwelling power.)
   11. Wendy, April 12, 2002
       overcomers.
9. What evidence do you find that more than one book will be examined at the end of the thousand years?
   1. Kevin, August 16, 2000
      The mention of books plurality.
   2. Donna, September 10, 2000
      And the books were opened,and another book was opened.
   3. Pauline, February 16, 2001
      This verse refers to 'another book' besides the Book of Life
   4. Roger, February 22, 2001
      ANYONE NOT FOUND WRITTERN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
   5. Alan, April 4, 2001
      and books were opened
   6. BG, June 26, 2001
      the verse says so.
   7. Carrie, July, 20, 2001
      It states that other books were opened at judgement
   8. Linda, August 2, 2001
      AND I SAW THE DEAD,SMALL AND GREAT,STAND BEFORE GOD;AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED:AND ANOTHER BOOK WAS OPENED,WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE:AND THE DEAD WERE JUDGED OUT OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE BOOKS,ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.
   9. Denice, November 3, 2001
      because it mentions books
   10. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
       "Books", there is also references to a book of rememberance, and it appears that the wicked will be judged out of books too, but obviously not the Lamb's book of life.
   11. Wendy, April 12, 2002
       The word book[s] is mentioned.Also, everything will be written into the book[s].
10. Is there evidence of a careful reviewing of the books of record?
    1. Kevin, August 16, 2000
       The mere thought that they are searching for names in the book, gives and indication that records are checked.
    2. Donna, September 10, 2000
       And whosoever name is not written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire.
    3. Pauline, February 16, 2001
       There has been very careful reviewing of the books before anyone's destiny has been determined.
    4. Roger, February 22, 2001
       ANY ONE NOT FOUND WRITTERN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.
    5. Alan, April 4, 2001
       yes. if name not found they are thrown in the lake of fire.
    6. BG, June 26, 2001
       yes..
    7. Carrie, July, 20, 2001
       yes
    8. Linda, August 2, 2001
       AND WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
    9. Denice, November 3, 2001
       yes, if your name is not in the book of life you will be thrown into the lake of fire
    10. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
        Yes... and if we are not found in the Book of Life, we will not be going to Heaven.
    11. Wendy, April 12, 2002
        If you aren't found there, you are doomed.
11. If Satan can point to sins that are not confessed and not forsaken does he have a valid claim on that person's life?
    1. Kevin, August 16, 2000
       Yes, because the person has not been an overcomer.
    2. Donna, September 10, 2000
       No.
    3. Pauline, February 16, 2001
       Definately. Anyone who has not been covered in the blood of Jesus, will be left without a benefactor.
    4. Roger, February 22, 2001
       NO
    5. Alan, April 4, 2001
       yes
    6. BG, June 26, 2001
       May be...
    7. Carrie, July, 20, 2001
       yes
    8. Linda, August 2, 2001
       YES HE DOES.
    9. Denice, November 3, 2001
       yes
    10. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
        YES, it is only when we confess our sins and turn away from doing them, that we are forgiven & cleansed of all unrighteousness.
    11. Wendy, April 12, 2002
        satan has always tried to have a claim on our lives, valid or not.However, Jesus says we must confess our sins and be overcomers.If you aren't for Jesus there is only one other camp you are in.
12. Consider ways you can help a person have the assurance by faith that their name is written in the Book of Life.
    1. Tyrone, September 25, 21999
       I will remind them on the thief on the cross who believed on the Lord Jesus. He was promised a place in heaven...without having to do a single good deed. By the merits of Jesus he will be in heaven. (I will take time in heaven one day to speak to this man. Talk about beating the buzzer! This guy outdid everybody.)
    2. Dwight, June 26, 2000
       Help them to see why they need Jesus in their life, He who died for their sins so they who should have died wouldn't and how to let Him live in them giving them a better life even though trials may still come.
    3. Kevin, August 16, 2000
       By telling them that Jesus already paid the price for us on the cross of Calvary to set us free from the condemnation of the sin.
    4. Donna, September 10, 2000
       Tell them about Jesus.
    5. Pauline, February 16, 2001
       Show them the promises in the Bible
    6. Roger, February 22, 2001
       PRAYING FOR THEM
    7. Alan, April 4, 2001
       testifying to them, praying for them and taking them to church
    8. Carrie, July, 20, 2001
       Show them what it says in the bible
    9. Linda, August 2, 2001
       TELL THEM GOD LOVES THEM.THAT HE DIED ON THE CROSS FOR THEIR SINS.CONFESS THEIR SINS AND BE BAPTIZED AND PUT YOUR FAITH IN GOD AND HIS SON.
    10. Denice, November 3, 2001
        tell them about Jesus and show them the scriptures
    11. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
        Through a personal living example of the faith in my life through Jesus Christ, and as they see the difference that God makes in my life, the door will be opened for study, discussion & prayer.
    12. Wendy, April 12, 2002
        Always be prepared with an answer when someone asks you why you believe in Jesus.Listen to them and help them with their problems and take them to Church and do Bible Studies with them. Tell them Jesus loves them and that there is real hope for the future.
13. Some have pictured the books of heaven as cosmic computer videos of every life. In what ways are you encouraged by the fact that a God of love keeps such careful and just records?
    1. Tyrone, September 25, 21999
       I am assured that no-one who does not deserve heaven will get there. Praise God that all who do not deserve heaven will not get there by mistake.
    2. Dwight, June 26, 2000
       I'm incouraged because when i geniunely ask for forgiveness and repent ofmy sins and confess them all the record will show if I'm reaaly sincere and also the records will show how i've let Jesus live through me to lead others to accept Him, thus justifying my name being in the book.
    3. Kevin, August 16, 2000
       So that we do not have any excuses, not for being saved one day.
    4. Donna, September 10, 2000
       Because He wants us to be in heaven with Him.
    5. Pauline, February 16, 2001
       There will be no mistakes in this Heavenly court unlike earthly courts.
    6. Roger, February 22, 2001
       HELP ME TO LIVE ACCORDING TO GOD'S PLAN
    7. Alan, April 4, 2001
       so that no righteous shall perish. the evidence is there to defeat accusations of the devil
    8. Carrie, July, 20, 2001
       It say's it in the bible.
    9. Linda, August 2, 2001
       BECAUSE HE KNOWS US BEFORE WE WERE BORN.HE KNOWS WHAT WE DO AND SAY.HE KEEPS TRACK OF US SO HE KNOWS EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIFE SO HE CAN GUIDE US THROUGH THE ROUGH AND GOOD TIMES.
    10. Denice, November 3, 2001
        because he loves me and wants my name to be there so he will be ever so careful to assure mine is there if I deserve it
    11. Tamara, Nevember 7, 2001
        I trust God to be just AND merciful.  He died to save me, I have nothing to fear.  He knows even the hair on my head, even how many I lost in the shower.
    12. Wendy, April 12, 2002
        When I am judged, I know without any uncertainty that I have been judged fairly. I also know if I am not in the book of life, it will be my fault, not Jesus.
14. If Jesus died to make the entry of your name in the Book of Life possible, how easily do you think He will erase it?
    1. Dwight, June 26, 2000
       Very easy it it seemed like it was in vain or i don't bear fruit.
    2. Kevin, August 16, 2000
       When we reject His offering for us.
    3. Donna, September 10, 2000
       Very easily.
    4. Pauline, February 16, 2001
       It would be more difficult for Jesus to erase my name from the Book of Life than it would be for me to abandon my children, for which this concept is unfathomable for me.
    5. Roger, February 22, 2001
       NOT FOLLOWING HIM IN HIS WILL
    6. Alan, April 4, 2001
       with difficulty. his desire is that none should perish
    7. BG, June 26, 2001
       Not very easy unless we want it so...
    8. Carrie, July, 20, 2001
       He won't, but we can.
    9. Linda, August 2, 2001
       VERY EASY HE COULD ERASE YOUR NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE.
    10. Denice, November 3, 2001
        I think it would be extremely hard and sad for
