How Do I Know My Name Is Written in the Book of Life?

How do you know that your name is written in The Book of Life? You do not explore the hidden mind of the Almighty on a mystic quest to read his thoughts.

You do not look inward to gauge the cleanliness of your hearts.

You look outward, to Christ, who is the Book of Life in the flesh.

God the Father has written your name not in words but in wounds. The nail-pierced hands, the thorn-encircled brow, the spear-hewn side—in those bleeding wounds is the ink by which your name is inscribed.

Before you did anything good or bad, before you were conceived, even before the foundation of the world, God the Father tattooed your name upon the body of his Son. He wrote it in the Book of Life. And in time, he preached to you that, apart from him, you are dead and damned. But by his Spirit, he called you to repentance, he called you by the Gospel, he worked faith in your heart, he baptized you, he forgave you, he made you his child.

In other words, he showed you your name, in letters bright and clear, written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Do not worry yourself with vain speculations about some hidden, secret decision that God made ages ago about who would be saved. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, the one in whom God reveals his fullness to us, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, the one who wills that all be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

Read only this Book of Life, Jesus Christ. See your name written there in the waters of baptism, in the forgiveness spoken, in the body and blood of the Supper.

Christ Jesus is the Book of Life. In him and him alone our names are written.

@arquimedezpozo @OmarKelly Have you watched it? What conspiracy does to promote? Careful your pedo is showing

[Derek Dudley @DerekDudley13]

@AddicusSpartac1 @OmarKelly Omar don’t listen to these pedo apologists do your research and watch the film. There’s is no politics in it and no conspiracy theories. To say it does more hard then good is crazy lol

[Derek Dudley @DerekDudley13]

@BubsC @JonnyLingo_ @OmarKelly Wrong, this was crowd funded and had hundreds if not thousands of donors and one dude got arrested for a custody issue not sex trafficking. Nice try, you’ve been victim of the left wing media again.

Andrew Tate is evil.

He’s an antichrist figure.

He diagnoses a cultural ill accurately (that our society vilifies men).

Then for an antidote, he prescribes poison: materialism, pornography, exploitation of women, worship of self.

Young men should reject him.

[Chad Bird @birdchadlouis]

One of the most common images--if not *the* most common image--in Scripture for not being where we're supposed to be, suffering for sin, or wandering from God, is EXILE.

Consider these "exiles" in Scripture:
1. Adam and Eve from Eden
2. Cain from the presence of God
3. Abram and Sarai to Egypt
4. Jacob to Haran
5. Joseph to Egypt
6. Jacob/Israel to Egypt
7. Naomi and her family to Moab
8. David to the wilderness and Philistia
9. Jeroboam to Egypt
10. Northern kingdom to Assyria
11. Southern kingdom to Babylon

An exile can be a chastisement from God, a result of natural disasters like a famine, or a self-chosen path due to fear or failure.

The Hebrew word Galut (גָּלוּת) can refer to a group of exiles or exile itself. The exile-and-return forms a huge part of the OT messianic expectation.

When we read the NT, cognizant of what a dominant metaphor exile is in the OT, our eyes are opened to see more clearly the meaning of many stories and passages.

For instance, the Parable of the Prodigal Son is an exile story. That "faraway land," in the biblical imagination, is a kind of Egypt or Babylon, from which the son eventually returns in his own "exodus."

The crucifixion of Christ is The Exile. He and Moses and Elijah, at the transfiguration, even call it his "exodus [ἔξοδος]" (Luke 9:31).

The Hebrew verb for "forsaken," used in Psalm 22:1, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken [עזב (azav)] me?" is frequently used in exile contexts. On the cross, Jesus goes into the dark, faraway country of suffering and death to bring us out, in his resurrection, into life and light. His resurrection is The Return from exile.

As you read the story of salvation, always keep the idea of exile-and-return close at hand. It is the canvas upon which the picture of our redemption in Jesus is painted.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

Marriage is an act of faith
Trusting others in the absence of naïveté is an act of faith
Celebrating the beauty of existence despite its tragedy and malevolence is an act of faith

All action undertaken in the absence of omniscience is faith
And all action is undertaken in that absence

Rationalist materialist atheists think faith means believing something that strains credibility
But it really means
Mature courage in being and becoming

As it always truly has

Love this guy, Great interview!

[Derek Dudley @DerekDudley13]

@RewAgain @pastorjgkell that billions of ppl all over the world have a do believe in. You know kinda like a historian or scientist regurgitates many years of previous teachings to a class? Your insult seems silly my friend. The real question is why do you think God makes mistakes?

[Derek Dudley @DerekDudley13]

@RewAgain @pastorjgkell You said you dont get it but it’s not really that complicated so I laid it out simply. You didn’t say you didn’t get it bc you don’t believe in sin which would have been more clear, that’s a separate issue. im regurgitating thousands of years of well thought out settled theology

[Derek Dudley @DerekDudley13]

@RewAgain @pastorjgkell righteousness so he must punish sin but he is the source of all love …enter: Christ and the cross. Where god takes our punishment on himself and freely gives us forgiveness and remembers our sins no more if we truly believe it

[Derek Dudley @DerekDudley13]

@RewAgain @pastorjgkell God gave us free will, he knew that once we had the choice we would inevitably sin (logically this happens when we stray from god). The only fitting punishment for sin is for god to grant that our free decision to rebel and separate from us (hell). Now god is perfect justice and
