Is my name written in the Book of Life and the Book of Remembrance? Am I living by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God? Whether your name is written in the Book of Life and the Book of Remembrance depends on a large degree on how you are living by the words of the third book, the Book of Moses or the law of God. We are called to a life of overcoming and sacrifice. Jesus Christ came to magnify the law of God, to reveal the spiritual intent of the law and to make it honorable. How you apply the immutable spiritual law of God will largely determine if your name is written in the Book of Life and Book of Remembrance.
