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.
“Revelation 13:8′

It is anticipated that the antichrist will become so powerful and arrogant as to accept worship from the earth’s inhabitants. The beast is almost universally worshipped. But we know that the Lamb is Jesus Christ, who freely offered Himself as a sacrifice on the cross for our sins. This verse illustrates the truth by the fact that believers refuse to be a part of the age of evil which will be ruled by the beast.

The inhabitants of the earth will wonder after the beast and worship him. Many will be lured away from the only hope they have for salvation, which is in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. In the end, all will discover they are among the lost, deceiving, unbelieving humanity and will face eternal separation from God, except those whose names are recorded in the Lamb’s book of life by faith.

By grace through faith in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ the righteous, God knew in advance that mankind would fall into sin. Thanks be to God that on Calvary’s cross, the Lamb, who was slain from the foundation of the world, fulfilled God’s redemptive act. The Lamb’s book of life already contains our names. Let us accept the biblical truth with trusting, child-like faith.

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father, thank You for making the gospel of grace and for dying for me so that my sins could be atoned for. Each day, may You open my eyes to the deeper truths in Your Word, so that I may come to know You more deeply. In this time of evil age where the beast trying to rule, I pray that many who have been deceived by satan’s lies will come to faith in Jesus and that their hearts will be opened to You’re mercy. I pray this throughout the mighty, glorious, fulfilling name, of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings in Jesus Christ, our almighty, wonderful, infinite loving, glorious dear Lord, Saviour and Redeemer.
