When the Books Are Opened
Nov 2, 2025 • Matthew Allen
One day, every life will stand before the throne of God, and the books will be opened. Revelation 20 reminds us that nothing is hidden from the Lord — every word, deed, and motive will be revealed. Yet for those who belong to Christ, this is not a day of fear but of hope. Another book will be opened — the Book of Life — containing the names of all who the blood of Jesus has redeemed. Our record may be full of failure, but His grace speaks louder than our guilt. This message calls us to live ready, to seek first His kingdom and righteousness, and to let the assurance of our salvation shape the way we serve, forgive, and love until that great day when faith becomes sight.
