Books
Solomon, tells us, “Be admonished: of making many books there is no end” (Ecclesiastes 12:12). History has proven this to be true, and certainly today in many forms and venues there are books abounding on every hand. However there is a day when these books will be burned up and gone.
Yet there is one book that will remain for eternity. It is the “Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23). We also read, “For ever, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89). I take it from this verse that we will continue to have fresh enjoyment of the living Scriptures as we dwell with Christ throughout those blissful ages of eternity.
There are other books that will remain intact for eternity as well. One is the “Lamb’s book of life” (Revelation 21:27), in which are written only those who have been saved and redeemed by the work of Calvary and the blood of Christ. Another is God’s “book of remembrance” (Malachi 3:16), which is a record of reward for faithfulness and service in this life.
God’s books are vital and eternal, man’s books at best pass quickly away with time.
