GOD IS OMNISCIENT; HE KNOWS ALL:
THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!
Isaiah 46:9-10 - Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure....
Acts 2:22-24 - You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
Romans 8:28-30 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestine to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom He did predestine, those He also called: and whom He called, those He also justified: and whom He justified, those He also glorified.
1 Peter 1:1-5 - Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
THE BOOK OF LIFE: WRITTEN BY GOD
BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD!
Revelation 3:4-6 - You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcomes,* the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
*Note: We overcome by believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (1 John 5:5).
Revelation 13:8-9 - And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man has an ear, let him hear.
Revelation 17:8 - The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation 20:11-15 - And I saw a great white throne, and Him that 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, stand before God; and the books* were opened: and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
*Note: I believe the "books" may very well be the biographies of those being judged; all will show that they have sinned, and have need of faith in the Savior. The Book of Life, in my opinion, is a list written before the foundation of the world, by God, of the names of all those who had been given life (INCLUDING THOSE ABORTED); the names which have been removed were not removed by sin, or the book would be blank; I believe those names which were removed, are those who rejected the conviction by the Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and Savior of all who accept Him (the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost - the unpardonable sin of Matthew 12:22-32).
JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS!
EVEN THOUGH GOD KNOWS
WHAT YOU WILL DO, YOU NEED
TO ACKNOWLEDGE JESUS
AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR!
