Is Your Name "in the Book of Life"?

 Does this mean that all those who have their name written in this book are guaranteed everlasting life?  We find the answer to that question in Jehovah's words to Moses, quoted at Exodus 32:33.  Jehovah said:  "Whoever has sinned against me, I will wipe him out of my book." Thus names that are presently in that book can wiped out, or erased, as if Jehovah had initially  written the names in pencil.  (Revelation 3:5 )  We must make sure that our name remains in that book until it is permanently in ink, as it were.

Some questions naturally arise.  For example, what does the Bible say about those whose names are written in the book of life as well as those whose names are not recorded there? When will those names remain in that book receive everlasting life? What about those who died without ever having an opportunity  to know Jehovah?  Is it possible for their names to recorded in that book?  These questions will be answered in this articles in the following one.
