"When the Roll is Called Up Yonder, Will Your Name Be Written in the Lamb’s Book of Life?" - Revelation 20:11-20.
??Several times when ministering to people,?we’ll?ask them,?“How can I pray for you?”?And the greater number of times, people will respond with?“their requests.”?The focus of such a question?shouldn’t?be “surprisingly,”?and?“shockingly individualistic,”?or even?“self-centered.”?Because?“prayer”?is?“the “rallying call to grace.”?So, when that question is asked, the plan that God?“designed”?and?“commanded”?that?“we pray for one another”?is being confirmed.?
The?“ultimate call to grace”?is God?“accentuating” His goodwill so?“that?in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace,” How? “In His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus –?Ephesians 2:7.?
?So, whether?we’re?in a?“restaurant,”?or taking?a?“casual walk in the park,”?our lives in Christ Jesus are?“purpose driven.”?To God, because of our?“new birth,” “we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which He hath ordained that we should walk in them,”?- Ephesians 2:10.?
Therefore,?“prayer”?and?“salvation”?must be taken seriously. Every day?“thousands of people are dying,”?and are “headed to hell.”?because they feel that all the talk about?“salvation”?is just?“simple Sunday “church talk,”?and not to be taken “seriously.”?But listen, God allowed His only begotten Son to?“sacrificially suffer,”?and?die “on a cross meant for robbers and thieves,”?and for that cause God takes?“salvation?seriously.”??
Revelation 20:11-20 says,?“And?I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.?And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.?And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.?
