IS YOUR NAME IN BOOK OF LIFE?
This is the story of a brother
Who slept and woke up in forever land
He looked around nothing’s familiar
He wondered how he got to be there
He took a walk around the city
And saw this brick house with a small door
Walked into the room and saw a man in white
Must be an angel,so he said.
Mr angel I’m a stranger don’t know what’s going on
The last thing I remembered was I slept last night
This is the border town that takes you where you get a crown
Must have heard of heaven where you came from
Only those whose name I find written in this book of life
Will forever be in paradise
Chorus:
Is your name in this book of life
Is your name in this book of life yeah
Ta da da,ta da da da,ta da da da da da da
Verse 2:
Flipping the pages of this great book
This brother gave a puzzled gaze
He saw the names of prophets,saints and marthys
who kept the faith and won the race
But he said Mr angel! Where is my name
Can you tell me what is going on
I’m a pillar in my local church
Gave the offerings and the tithe
Feed the poor and have myself a good name
Chorus:
Is my name in this book of life
Is my name in this book of life yeah
Tell me is my name in this book of life
Is my name in this book of life yeah
Verse3:
Unforgiveness lurks within your heart
Some folks that you’ll never let go
Little foxes and secret folks
Will spring surprises on that final day
Wow oh oh oh,wow oh,oh oh,oh
So much for this wonder brother
What about you,what about me
Let him that thinks that he stands
Let him take heed lest he falls
Only the pure in heart will see Jesus
Those whose garments filled with purity
Chorus:
Is your name in that book of life
Is your name in that book of life yeah
Is your name in that book of life
Tell me is your name in that book of life yeah
Think about it.

SIGNIFICANT POINT
Is your name written in the Book of Life? This is more than a one million dollar question. Revelation 20:15, ‘And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.’ Once your name is not written in this book, you can’t go to Heaven.
Everything we do today, including the thing we have done in the past, we shall account for it on the last day. The Book of Life is a book that gives the result of the judgment of God on all of humanity. Whatever summary God comes to in His conclusion will be in our names in this book. it is called the book of life because once your name is found there, you will enter into eternal life. Let’s take a look at the the ‘good book’ the bible, John 3:16, ‘For God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life’. Looking at this popular scripture, you will notice that it talked about ‘life’ and qualifies it with an adjective, ‘everlasting’. Life in the real essence is eternal and that is why your name needs to be found in this book.
there is one way you can write your name in this book of life. How? You ask? Let’s see the good book once again, that is where the answer is always is, John 14:6, ‘Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.’
From that scripture, the good book had made us to understand that your name can be written in the book of life if you follow Jesus Christ, without compromise, you live a life without Sin, but in righteousness and holiness, then you will have an assurance that your name is written in the book of life. Also, preach it others, preach Jesus, teach Jesus and baptized them. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:19-20.
