Is Your Name "in the Book of Life"?

 "A book of remembrance was written before him for those hearing Jehovah." - MALACHI 3:16.

FOR thousands of years, Jehovah has been writing a  special book.  This book consists of a list of names, beginning with the name of the first faithful witness, Abel. (Luke 11:50, 51) Down through the centuries, Jehovah has added names to the book, and today it contains millions of names.  In the Bible, that book is called "a book of remembrance," "the book of life," and "the scroll of life."  In this article, we will refer to it as "the book of life."- MALACHI 3:16.

This special book contains the names of all those who worship Jehovah with fear, or awe, and who treasures his name. They are in line to receive everlasting life.  Today we can have our name written in that book if we develop a close, personal relationship with Jehovah based on the ransom sacrifice of his So, Jesus Christ. (John 3:16, 36)All of us want our name to be found in that book-whether we hope to live in heavan or on earth.
