There are books that angels
write in. One is called the Book of Remembrance. The kind things
are written here. Every time you almost did something wrong but
you were strong enough with God¡¯s help not to do it, it is written
in this book. Every time you used all your money to help someone
learn about God, it is written down. Even when you were sad because
not enough people loved God, it is written in this Book of Remembrance.
(Malachi 3:16; Nehemiah 13:14; Psalms 56:8; Ecclesiastes 12:13 &
14)
The
angels write in another book called the Sin Record. In this book
is written every wrong thought, bad word and cruel action. Any gossip,
any secret wrong doing is written here. Nobody on this earth may
know that is done secretly, but the angels write it all down. They
can see everything.
The book of life has
names of everyone who works for God at any point in their lives.
Everyone whose name is in this book will enjoy heaven if their names
are not later crossed out of the book because of turning away from
God.
Everyone has sinned.
All have a problem that is hard for them to overcome. Then how can
anyone be saved? God promises to help if you ask Him.
Do not be afraid that He will
forget you. Jesus says in the Bible tht He has your name written
on His breastplate. The breastplate of the High Priest had a row
of pretty rocks around the border. It also had 12 different gems
lined up in the middle representing the 12 tribes of Israel. I look
at the outer border of rocks and know that even though I am not
born into the family of Israel in one of their tribes, I can still
be in His family. Your name is written on the heart of the High
Priest, Jesus in heaven. He will never ever forget you. It is hard
for a mamma to forget her baby that drinks milk from her, yet some
mothers do. But Jesus can never forget you.
He has scars where the
nails went through His hands. These scars remind Him of you just
as if your name was written on His hands. (Isaiah 49:`5, 16; Exodus
28:29)
This work of reading what the
angels wrote in the books takes a while to study. This work started
at the end of a 2300 year prophecy from the Book of Daniel. It started
on October 22, 1844.
When His work is done,
He will say that whoever is kind will stay that way. Whoever is
unkind will stay that way. Fter this, He will get ready to come
in the clouds for His kind, loving and obedient people. In Revelation
it talks about Jesus throwing down His censer when he was done.
This throwing is different than laying down a tool. Why do you think
he threw it? There might be an eagerness to get the rest of His
work done and rescue His people who are in danger on the earth.
Jesus is so kind. You
will want to hug Him. You will enjoy being close to Him. You have
something special that grown-ups do not have. You believe what He
says.
Hebrews 8 & 9
