Bible Question: How many books does God, open on judgement day with the Lambs book of life?? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Our Eternal High Priest! "These books record every thought, word, and deed of sinful men- all recorded by divine omniscience (see also Daniel 7:10). They will provide the evidence for eternal condemnation." (The MacArthur NKJV Study Bible) "Books refers to the record of all works done in this life. Since all have sinned and fall short of God’s standard (see Rom. 3:23), the opening of these books would certainly lead to eternal sentences in the lake of fire. The Book of Life, God’s register of those who are saved (17:8), is also opened. So although no one will be judged acceptable based on works (see Eph. 2:9), many will be saved by God’s grace received by faith in Jesus Christ (see Eph. 2:8)" (Nelson's NKJV Study Bible) Only God would know the final tally of these books, since every person who ever lived would have their actions recorded in these books.
