Great White Throne Judgement:
“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:11-15 (NKJV)
We see that there is a Book in heaven called Life! We should make sure our names are written in this book. The verses above clearly say that if our names are not written in this Book, are cast into Lake of Fire. This place is worst than Death, Hades or Hell with second death. Imagine the severity in the punishment who do not enter into Life with Jesus. Hebrews 12:22-24(NKJV) That is why Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 (NKJV) So to check whether our names are written in the Book of Life, we should be in Jesus, who is the Way,Truth & Life.
“Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.” John 6:53-56 (NIV) We are in Jesus and He is in us when we part take in Holy Communion. So we see God in Jesus made it so easy to enter our names in the Book of Life! “Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.” Revelation 20:6 (NKJV)
Throne of Grace With Rewards:
There is a mention of other Books also in which our works are recorded and according to that we were judged. For every individual on earth God is maintaining a book. In this a question arises what about the bad things done by us who were in Jesus. Thank God because we accepted Jesus in our hearts, all the bad reports are erased from our Books by the blood of Jesus and only rewards are given according to the good works. How do we know? When we read about those walked in faith throughout the Bible are mentioned in Hebrews: 11(NIV). There we can see only good reports of each one of them and nothing bad done by them is recorded. Glory to God!
“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16 (NKJV) Revelation 11:15-19(NKJV)
““And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”” Revelation 22:12-13, 16 (NKJV)
