554 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ 

The Book of Life

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 

I shared yesterday a little about salvation and how we know our name is in the book of life. Yesterday I asked questions about how we know and today I will the answer. 

We know that our name is in the book of life because the verse John 3:16 is the greatest hint to life that man must know. 

It is not through good deeds or perfection in which we are Saved. If this were true not one of us would get into that narrow gate. Personally I find great relief in this knowledge our merciful Lord gifted. Our Lord did away with legalism and confusion by gifting His son Jesus. Jesus did not come sitting on a thrown and demanding us to be and act in certain ways! No instead our God showed humbleness and merci. He lovingly taught us about goodness, he walked beside the lonely. He lovingly taught about what our God in heaven seeks after. Jesus was murdered by man because he loved! Gods name is taken through the mud daily but when you know His story of grace we realize the mighty mercy and peace which then leads us to the revelation we are in fact HIS!

The Challenge: 

Again, I ask how does a person keep their name in the book of life?
