God’s Special Book
Monday, December 22, 2025Key Verse
“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15
Text — Revelation 20:11-15
Message
God keeps a special book with the names of all saved children, those who are ready for heaven. This Book is with God in heaven, so no one can add his/her name secretly. If your name is not in this book, you are not ready for heaven and will end up in hell. The Book is referred to as the Book of Life.
Sam was very excited to start his university programme. He was determined to become an engineer one day, and he worked hard in his academic programme. But as time went by, Sam started to get lazy. He skipped classes, didn’t study much, and even failed in some of his courses. When it came to the time for graduation, Sam was shocked to find out that he did not make the list of graduands. He had not completed all his courses, and he had to carry over some. Sam felt really sad and disappointed. He wished he had worked harder and stayed focused on his goals.
To have your name in God’s special Book, you must repent and give your life to Jesus. Friends of Jesus should not get distracted by worldly things but stay focused on God and live a holy life. Heaven is too important to miss. With God’s help, we will make it in Jesus’ name.
