September 16, 2016: SOAP #2479:  Ezekiel 40-41; Psalm 128; Revelation 21

Scripture:  Revelation (NIV) 21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. … 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Observation:  The previous chapter ends with “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”  (Revelation 20:15)    This chapter ends with entrance into the city being limited to “only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

Application:  I may not understand everything included in the book of Revelation, but the importance of having my name written in THE BOOK of life cannot be missed!  It is a high priority!  My eternal destiny is set by being or not being in that book.

Prayer:    Jesus, thank you for saving me from eternal torment which I deserve.  Thank you for making a way for me to join you in the heavenly city where you are King!  Amen
