Is your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life?

And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. 
Rev 20: 15    

I will start by writing that I hope it is! There is a book that the Bible suggests was in
existence before the beginning of creation, and in that book, belonging to the Lamb of
God, is a listing of names. First of all, the name that was given to you by your birth or
adopted parents will not be there. Your name will be the one assigned by, and known only to,
God Himself, your real name, and it will be read out loud and immediately recognized
by you as your name of salvation. A glorious name that belongs only to you, one given
by the Almighty God.

It would not be relevant to get into a discussion, here, on election or predestination, but
as the Bible is the word of God, some names are apparently in the book and some names are not. That's a daunting scenario, isn't it? 

So I will repeat the title's question...Is your name in that book? 

I am going to suggest that your desiring that your name be there is a sign that the name
most probably is in the book. Those who reject that idea of Christ Jesus as their
absolutely necessary savior probably do not care if such a name exists. Secondly, God
is the one that calls souls to Himself. While we cannot initiate this transaction, the desire
to be a part of the flock of Jesus most probably means that God has initiated an interest
and love of Jesus within a person.

Let's look at the worst possible scenario. What if your name isn't among those linked
forever to Jesus? Now I, being just a simple-minded blogger, have no ability to
put God's possible actions and reactions in some sort of box! So, let's try a possibility.
Since the Bible also suggests that God desires not to lose even one soul, what would
be a reason why a name could not be added if that soul took to its knees, opened its
heart and fervently asked forgiveness for sins, repented and sought with all its
being, a relationship with God and with Jesus  Christ? There are simply no
limitations to God's ability to do His will. 

Well, there it is. I am going to state that I know without question that my name
is in that book, and I wish anyone reading this to have that same sort of faith OR
to begin the life-changing possible course of action that will bring his soul into
the care and love of the Sovereign Lord of the Universe. Do not wait another moment!

Praise our God!!!!
