Sins that have not been repented of and forsaken will not be pardoned and blotted out of the record, but will stand as a witness against us in the judgment. Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment (Ecclesiastes 11:9).Īnd there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life (Revelation 21:27). Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven (Luke 10:20).īut as we rejoice, we must also remember not to take the mercy of God and His grace lightly by trying to cover up or ignore our sins.
Revelation 12:10 calls Satan the “accuser of the brethren…which accused them before our God day and night.” Jesus does not excuse our sins, but rather points to the immortalized record of our lives and shows Satan that every one of those sins have been confessed and forgiven by Him, that His blood covers them and only our good deeds remain. He will point to all of our sins and lay our faults in the worst possible light, declaring that we don’t deserve any more than he does to be saved. Satan will stand to accuse us before God that we are not worthy of eternal life. If a name is removed from the Book of Life, that person’s good deeds will also be removed from the Book of Remembrance.īoth of these books play a vital role during the time of the judgment, “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:14). This book is directly connected with another very important book called the Book of Life. Let us present a book containing the records of our dead, D&C 128:24. The dead were judged by the books that contained the record of their works, D&C 128:7.
Every encouraging word, every unselfish deed, every sacrifice made, the Lord has carefully placed there as a witness to the universe that you are indeed His child. All they who are not found written in the book of remembrance shall find no inheritance in that day, D&C 85:9. This Book of Remembrance holds every act of faithful service done for the Lord. The intercessions and charitable acts of Cornelius populated his. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels (Malachi 3:16-17). Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. What is this book, and what does it mean for us? It is called the Book of Remembrance and everyone who has ever believed in Jesus has one.
