Heaven's Library
Manage episode 403914586 series 3025737
Last episode we learned about everyone's post death experience. (Link below.) That episode explained the truth about a different life that happens after physical life here. So what happens when that life starts? Are there more details? There are. God tells us what comes next. It involves us and an amazing set of records.
There is a library in Heaven with many volumes.
First of all, there's God's Word- the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, it's there in Heaven, a record of God and mankind.
Your eternal word, O Lord, stands firm in heaven. Psa 119:89 1 Pet 1:25 Isa 40:8
and Jesus said- Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear Mt 24:35
Also we have "The Books"- mentioned in Revelation 20 and 21– In them are recorded everyone's actions and thoughts from all history.
This means that everything you have ever done is recorded here. There are new entries in the millions every moment. Those who are not followers of Jesus will be judged by those records. (Remember the rich man who died in Luke 16? His actions are listed) All will answer for what they have done.
The apostle Peter says “They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.”
Paul says “Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.”
But... there is something strange about these “Books”
While they constantly grow, they can also shrink! Every time a man or woman becomes a Jesus follower, all their prior actions and thoughts are deleted! The blood of Jesus shed on the cross is an amazing erasing agent- for sins! His death and your acceptance of his sacrifice for your sins deletes your complete record from the Books. They are expunged!
In the same moment your guilty charges are erased, your name is entered in the best book, the Lamb's Book of Life. All about that in Part 2 of Heaven's Library!
