Surely, many things are happening, but we only know those that God has decided to leave us in writing in the Bible.
There is something very important that Jesus has to do before returning to the earth to look for us. Do you know what it’s about? A judgment is taking place to know who will be saved and live forever, and who will not. As in any trial, there is an accuser or prosecutor who says, «[MENTION YOUR NAME] has disobeyed and misbehaved today. Write that down in the Book of Sins.» Do you know who that accuser is? Yes, it’s Satan. He likes that there are a lot of people written in that horrible book.
But don’t panic; in this trial we have the Judge on our side and the best Lawyer. Whenever you ask for forgiveness, Jesus says, «! have died for [MENTION YOUR NAME]. Write it down in the Book of Life.» And your name disappears immediately from the Book of Sins, forever, as if you had never disobeyed or committed a sin.
Don’t you think that’s wonderful? Jesus isn’t only our Savior, but also our Judge and Lawyer. He’s always on our side and defends us from everything of which Satan accuses us.
Remember to ask for forgiveness when you make a mistake, so that your Lawyer can erase it and write your name in the Book of Life.
In which book do you want your name to be written? Write it in your Prayer Journal and explain why.
