Will Your Name Remain in the Book of Life?

All the names of every person were written in the book of life. Many have been blotted out.....why?.

1 Timothy 2:3-5 "…3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"

Only when a person dies is his name blotted out of the book of life when they reject Christ. Those who are born again and sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise until He comes for us will not be blotted out. They remain in that book for eternity.

Ephesians 1:12-14 "…12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory. 13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth— the gospel of your salvation— you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.…"

1 John 2:19-20 "19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us. 20 You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.…"

Judas was a pretender who was never born again, he had tasted the good fruit of Christ but never trusted in Him.

Hebrews 12:5-7 "…
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises everyone He receives as a son.”
7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…"

All those who are born again are over-comers. Those who claim to be "Christians" will not overcome and that will be the proof they never belonged to Christ in the first. place.
