Is Your Name "in the Book of Life"? - WHOSE NAMES ARE IN THE BOOK?

 Whose names are written in this figurative book?  To answer that question, we will consider five different groups of people. Among these, some have their names writtenin the book of life, others do not.

The first group is made up of those who have been selected  to rule with Jesus in heaven.  Are their names presently written in the book of life?  Yes. According to the apostle Paul's words to his "fellow workers"  in Phlippi, the names of the anointed ones, who have been invited to rule with Jesus, are now in the  book of life. (Read  Philippians 4:3)  But in order to keep their names in that figurative book, they must remain faithful.  Then when they receive their final sealing, whether before they die or before the outbreak of the great tribulation, their names will be written permanently in this book. - REVELATION 7:3.
