Are you Prepared?

Revelation 21:27
“…only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

Nearly 3000 people entered eternity on September 11th, 2001. 

It was just another day.  An average, beautiful, sunny, September day.  As they brushed their teeth or had their morning coffee or kissed their loved ones goodbye, did they have any idea it would be the last? 

I doubt it.

But before they could barely have eaten breakfast, all of them came face to face with their Creator.  Was their name in the Book? 

“What book?” you may ask. 

The Book of Life. 

At the end of the time – and there will be an end to human history.   And at that time, God’s Word says that each and every one of us will have to stand before God. (Romans 14:12)

Did we accept His way of being made right with Him?  Jesus.  (The Way, the Truth, and the Life.  No one gets to the Father, but by Jesus.”  John 14:6)

If we did, then the Bible says our name is placed in the Lambs book of life.  The Bible says in Revelation 21:27, “Nothing impure will ever enter heaven, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

If we have not accepted God’s way of being made right with Him – (by asking Jesus to come into our life) the Bible says that our name is not written in this book.  “If any one’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”  (Rev. 20:15)

As I watched the images of 9/11 again over the weekend, my prevailing thoughts were, “Lord, were they prepared to meet you?”

Are you prepared to meet Him if today was your last?  Would you have any regrets?
