AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life; and the dead were judged according to what they had done as written in the books [that is, everything done while on earth]. [Jer 17:10; Rom 2:6] |
Bible Question: what are the books that will be opened? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Elice, One of the books that will be opened is the Book of Life. Every person who has ever been saved has their name written in the "Book of Life". If by the time he or she dies if they have not received God's forgiveness their name will be blotted out of the book. The names of the other books are unknown. One of them, however, will probably be the Book of Laws. God's written word is referred to as the "Book of the Law". Numerous verses tell us that anyone who has had exposure to God's word is responsible to live by it, and if he doesn't he will be condemned. Paul emphasizes this in Gal 3:10. Another book will probably be the "Book of Works". Each person is believed to have an angel who records all of their good works. Every bad deed and every good deed done for the wrong reason will be written also. Hope this helps. prayon |
