The Book of life,

Revelation 22,-18
19. and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

The book of life is mentioned in Gods word many times. Jesus even tells us in revelation 22 that if you mess around with the prophecy of revelation you are going to be removed from the book of life. That sure sounds like you had salvation, and lost it to me.

Revelations 3,-5
5. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.


In Revelation 3 we see Jesus telling us we must overcome, this is a common theme throughout the book of revelation and used 8 times! And what a harsh warning it is, if we do not over come he will blot us out of the book of life. That sure sounds like you had salvation and lost it to me. It is so important to understand. Are you ready to die for the name of Jesus or would you deny him to stay alive?

Revelation 17,-8
The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.


And for those that think we all people start off in the book of life and if your blotted out that is not loosing salvation, in Revelation 17 we see clearly that not all people names are written in the book of life.

So my point is read the word for youself make your own decison, do not trust anyone who paints a easy path to heaven, no wear in Jesus word does he say it is easy, he tells us we must deny ourself, we must take up are cross, we must love him more then our family, that the path is narrow the way is hard and few find it. If you are not 100% commited to Jesus and his word you need to be, you are either all in are not in at all.

Do a self check to see. Do you have a personal relation ship with Jesus, is he the first person you run to when things are good, he is the first you run to when things are tough. Do you trust his word more then anything else in the world. Do a audit on your time, money, and thoughts, and you will know where your heart is. He should be in your every thought, you should be spending time with him alone, you should be producing fruit for the kingdom. Do you spend more money on pleasure and comfort and hobbies entertainment then on the kingdom. Check yourself, Jesus loves us, he will give you a new heart and spirit, but you have to be intentional with your relation ship with him, you will see God working in your life that you never thought possible.

Praise Jesus my King, he want to help us, because no way can we overcome with out him giving us the strength trust in him alone !
 
When someone tells the truth, all I can say is AMEN!

Someone will still say salvation cannot be lost even with the verses posted here.

From the very beginning the LORD said he will blot peoples name out to sin against him.

Exodus 32: 30 - 33
30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

31 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

33 And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.


So if someone name was in the book of life and he/she decides to sin against God willfully then that name will be blotted out.
