We are written by Him before the foundation of the world. To be written in the Book of Life means to be part of the Body of Christ – to be part of His Attributes which is the source of Life. He gave His life for us that we might be founded (written) on Him and be a part of that Book of Life, which is His Body – the whole Him. His Life is even according to the volume of the book that is written of Him (Heb. He is no other than our Lord Jesus Christ! He is the only source of Life (John 14:6), that’s why He is called the Book of Life and the Word of God (Rev. So if the books are people, then this book of Life must also be a person! Who is it then? “…and another book was opened, which is the BOOK OF LIFE”Īfter the opening of the books, the Book of Life was also opened. All that is written on each page shall be exposed. Every book will be opened and will be read. The sea will gave up the dead which were in it and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them. This will be the last and final judgment where sin will be completely dealt with.

These books are those people who have lived on this earth from Adam up to the judgment day which is not included in the first resurrection. 20:5) of the saints (which happens during the resurrection of the Lord, during the Rapture and the Resurrection of the Great Tribulation saints) will face God and shall be opened. This scene will be during the white throne judgment where all books (people) who did not make it in the first resurrection (Rev. Revelation 20:12 “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.” One can’t read the Lord in them and He is not reflected in each page of their lives. But to those whose author is not the Lord, and whose works are not the working of the Lord, are certainly not His. It is only in those books who were authored by the Lord Himself that we can read Him. Not all of them we can read the life of Christ. But just like the literal books, not all of them contained Christ. And one day, He will be fully written and reflected on us.Īll human beings are books. And He is the One Who is still working on us (Phil. He is the one who wrote us, He is the author and the finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).

Every one of those who do the will of the Lord is His epistle to be read by many. 3:2-3 that we are considered the epistle (book) of Christ “ written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. “ Ye are our EPISTLE written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the EPISTLE OF CHRIST ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.” If it’s not a literal book with literal names written on it, then what it is? Why is it called a book? How can our attributes be written on it? So if it is not our earthly given names which are written in the Book of Life but the real us, this means also that the Book of Life is not a literal book! It should be something where our attributes (the Real Us) can be written. We read in Philippians 4:3, Paul mentioned the name of Clement and his “ fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life” and we know that Paul does not mean that it was their literal earthly given names that are written in the Book of Life, instead it was themselves (the real them) who are written in the Book of Life. With this in mind, we are now ready to answer our main question: WHAT IS THE BOOK OF LIFE? We have known also that our NEW NAME is actually our new attributes or the New Us. We have known that a NAME in the Bible is actually the attributes of the owner. ( This is the continuation of the article entitled: WHAT WILL BE OUR NEW NAME? To understand this article better, I suggest to read first that article.)
