THE RECORD KEEPER

Our finite minds cannot fully comprehend God's 'omniscience', so we tend to slip into a false sense of autonomy. But the Bible attests to the fact that every thought, word, and deed is seen by Him ...

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:13) 

When the truth of this passage comes to light, the immense weight of one's sinful past overwhelms the penitent soul. A desperate cry for relief makes its way to the throne of grace and the Gospel of Jesus Christ is revealed ...   

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:16-17)

For those who put faith in Christ's redemptive act and surrender to His Lordship, their eternal home is secure. Their names have been permanently written in the Lamb's Book of Life and by this immutable record, all of mankind will be judged ...  

And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. Another book, the Book of Life, was opened. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. (Revelation 20:12)

And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15)

Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (Revelation 21:27)

Make sure your name is written in there. The Son of God made a way where there was no way. It is through His atoning sacrifice that your sins are forgiven. 

Surrender your life to Him ... If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

Your walk of faith is on the 'hard-packed road' of blessed assurance. The divine Record Keeper has made it so.
