Books of Works and Book of Life

I am reminded of Revelation 20 where at the Great White Throne," the books are brought forward, then the book of life is opened. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books......each person was judged according to what he had done. If anyones name was not found in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire".

1 Cor 3 :12- 13 Whether a person builds on this foundation with gold, silver, expensive stones, wood, hay, or straw,the workmanship of each person will become evident, for the day of judgment will show what it is, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work.

Many books of works v's one book of life
Remember is God is watching, taking notes and will present you with all your works at judgment day. You may have plenty of books recording your good works but only those whose names are found in the book of life will not be thrown into the lake of fire.

Wood hay and stubble burn easily, all are dead material.
God tests and tries us as one purifies gold and silver, better to be in hot water now with God than later without Him!
On that note... have a great day
