Book of Life, The

Listen from:
Registry of persons’ names as living. One (also called simply God’s book) may be a book of those who only have a name to live, and consequently whose names may be blotted out (Ex. 32:32-33; Psa. 69:28; Rev. 3:5; Rev. 22:19). Another is a book of the saved, from which none will be erased (Phil. 4:3; Rev. 13:8; Rev. 17:8; Rev. 20:12, 15; Rev. 21:27). A third (called simply “the book,”) contains the names of the remnant of Israel (Dan. 12:1).
