Nov 7, 2020 … Are You In HIS BOOK?!

Berry Patch Devotions in 2020 - Day 312 


Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ...    Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from the group Casting Crowns, featuring Matthew West, singing  Nobody … powerfully singing of how we need to feature sharing the reality of Jesus being the focus of our life’s testimony … so that we can help others to be found in The Lamb’s book of life. 


Is Your Name in His book? ... 

==============

Highlight Passage:  Luke 10:20 [ESV] ... 

20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” 

  Jesus shows His charged disciples that the importance of them sharing with others is to bring them to be written into God’s Book of Life.    

=============  

Highlight Passage [Context]: …  Luke 10:1, 17-20 [ESV] …  USE THIS LINK … 

… Jesus shows His disciples that sharing His grace with others has the power of bringing lost souls into God’s kingdom. 

==============    


Reference Passage: …  John 3:16 [ESV] … USE THIS LINK … 

  You know this passage; but sharing God’s love and grace with others as Jesus did with Nicodemus is the most important thing we can do in life because the outcome results in souls being listed in the Lamb’s Book of life.   


Reference Passage: …  Romans 10:9-13 [ESV] … USE THIS LINK … 

  The Apostle Paul shows that ANYONE who declares openly that Jesus is their Lord will be saved and listed in God’s Book of Life.    


Reference Passage: …  Revelation 20:11-15  [ESV] … USE THIS LINK … 

  In John’s revelation, he saw the Great White Throne Judgment where anyone not written in Jesus’ Book of Life was thrown in the eternal lake of fire.     


My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, David H Roper, AT THIS LINK told of a nervous young Christian who was asked to share his testimony at a rowdy fraternity event, …the ultimate result being that a number of those young men were saved and written into God’s Book of Life FOREVER.  


Having taken in today’s ODB entry, …  remembering and re-listening to the linked song, … and then meditating on the Bible verses called to my mind/heart today, I’m under conviction that I could do more to share what Jesus has done in my life; … how I am found in the Lamb’s Book of Life and desiring that all who do what Paul wrote about in Romans 10:9-13 might also confess and repent of their sins and be written eternally in that same Book [see photo]. 


I’m praying that all reading here are listed in that Book and we do all we can to share that joy of salvation with others, … especially those we love whom we feel are not yet listed in the Lamb’s Book.  


My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for writing my name in Your Book. 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray that all reading here will join me today to do all we can to show others how to call on Jesus to write their names in His Book of Life.   … Amen
