THE JUDGEMENT BOOKS

　

REVELATION 20:11-15



Pastor Rick Jackson

　
There will be at least 3 Books at the Great White Throne Judgement. There may be more but there will not be less. For our part we will say three but we’ll explain how there could be more. The first book that the lost will be judged by is a familiar book to most of us. That book is:

　

I. THE BIBLE


1. The Bible is the Word of God [Mk. 7:13, 2 Corinthians 2:17, Revelation 1:2, 9; 20:4]

2. The Bible is the Word of Christ [Mt. 24:35, Luke 5:1, Colossians 3:16, Rev. 3:8]

3. The Bible is the Word of Judgement [Jn. 12:48]

　
II. THE BOOK OF WORKS [Rev. 20:12-13] this could be 3 different books or 3 chapters of the same book

　
1. Judgement of Words [Mt. 5:22, 12:36-37, Jude 15]

2. Judgement of Thoughts [Mt. 5:21-22, 27-28, 12:34; Rm. 2:15-16, Heb. 4:12, 1 Jn. 3:15]

3. Judgement of Deeds [Jude 15, Rm. 1:32, 2:2-5; Heb. 4:13, Rev. 20:12-13]

　

III. THE BOOK OF LIFE [Rev. 20:12, 15]

　
Evidently everyone is in the Book of Life originally then these factors come into play"

1. When a Person Trusts Christ His/her Name is Locked In [Dan. 12:1; Joel 2:32, Lk. 10:20, Rev. 3:5]

2. When a Person Crosses God’s Deadline His/her Name is Blotted Out [Ex. 32:32-33, Ps. 69:28, Lk. 8:17-18, Rev. 13:8, 17:8, 22:19]

3. The Only Way to Escape the Lake of Fire is to be IN the Book of Life [Rev. 12:14-15]

4. The Only Way to Enter Heaven is to be IN the Book of Life [Rev. 21:27]
