"And anyone whose name was not found recorded

in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire!"

Revelation 20:15

"Rejoice that your names are written in heaven!"

Luke 10:20

It is matter of the greatest joy in the world, for a man

to have his name enrolled in heaven. Look! as it is the

sinner's hell that his name is engraved in the book of

damnation; just so, it is the believer's heaven that his

name is engraved in the book of election.

There are many who are exceedingly inquisitive to know

whether their names are written in heaven or not. I

would say to such--there is no such way to know this

--as by your holiness. Have you broken off your sins

by sound repentance? Has the gospel changed your

inside and your outside? Has it made you a new creature,

and turned you from darkness to light, and from the power

of Satan to Jesus Christ? etc. Then, without all question,

your name is written in heaven, and you are the person

who has the greatest cause in the world to rejoice!

"Rejoice that your names are written in heaven!"

Luke 10:20
