Scripture:
“Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:14-15 NLT
Observation:
The subheading for this portion in my Bible said “The Final Judgment.” After the Millennial reign of Christ, Satan will be released for a short time to deceive the nations once more. At the end of that season, this verse takes place. It basically tells us that everyone will stand before the judgment seat of Christ and the only thing that matters is if you name is in the Book of Life. Having your name there is the most important thing in your life.
Application:
First, there is a lot of teaching being shared today that there is no place of eternal torment, which we call hell. Jesus spoke much about hell and the awfulness of it. Here it is seen as a lake of fire. My application today is simply that I must let people know what is coming and the importance of having your name in the book. Secondly, I need to do everything possible to love people into the Kingdom and help them get their name in the book of Life.
Prayer:
Father, let my life be used to plunder hell and populate heaven. Let my life be about getting names written in that precious book. Help me. Empower me. Teach me. Show me how to help people move from darkness to light. Use my life to build and extend Your kingdom rule and reign. Let me make the most of every opportunity to bring people to Christ.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
