IS YOUR NAME STILL WRITTEN THERE?

Things are fleeting and changing. Meanwhile, the Lord Jesus has said that you should rejoice whether your name is written in Heaven (Luke 10:20).

The story is told of an invited guest at an extraordinary event was refused entrance because her name was not written on the party list. It seems she was supposed to verify with RSVP. She failed to follow the instructions so her name had been removed and she was refused entry.

Moses interceded for the saved Hebrews who were sinning; he even asked that God might save them by removing him from His list of saved ones. But God said, “Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book” (Exodus 32:33).

Those that obey Jesus have their names written in the Lamb’s book of life and will be confessed to God the Father (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:5). Jesus, the Lamb of God, has that book (Revelation 27). Like the song goes, “Is my name written there?” We should also know that God has said that he that sins against Him, his name will be removed (blotted out).

Therefore the apostle writes to a repentant Christian, 1 John 2:1, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin [but confesses 1:9], we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”

Is your name still written there?

Hymn (public domain)

Lord, I care not for riches, neither silver or gold;
I would make sure of heaven, I would enter the fold.
In the book of Thy kingdom, with its pages so fair,
Tell me, Jesus, my Savior, is my name written there? Refrain:

Is my name written there,
On the page white and fair?
In the book of Thy kingdom,
Is my name written there?

Lord, my sins they are many, like the sands of the sea,
But Thy blood, O my Savior, is sufficient for me;
For Thy promise is written, in bright letters that glow,
"Though your sins be as scarlet, I will make them like snow." Refrain:

Oh! that beautiful city, with its mansions of light,
With its glorified beings, in pure garments of white;
Where no evil thing cometh to despoil what is fair;
Where the angels are watching, yes, my name's written there. Refrain.

Note: I am aware that my grandmother’s religion taught “once saved always saved” but respectfully I must conclude that this has to be an obvious error.= gw
