The Lambs book of life is for everyone, the book begins with everyone in the world in it, those who are removed are those who will not trust Christ.
Revelation 3:5 - "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."
God does not say he will put the name in and then take it out, it only says "blot out" what was already there. This idea fits perfectly with God's character to provide for everyone, knowing that not everyone will avail themselves to the free gift of salvation.
Christ died for the entire world, He desired that all would become born again.
I John 2:2 "and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."
1 Timothy 2:4
"Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
Christ began with a plan for all of mankind to become born again, He loved the entire world, however He gave everyone a choice and knows that not all will believe, many walk in rebellion and will not follow Him.
