Baptism and the Book of Life (3)

But David, the writer of Psalms, wrote:

Ps. 69:27-28 『Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation. May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.』


Even though someone's name has been written in the book of life, his name will be blotted out of the book of life if he commits the unforgivable sin.

Rev. 3:5-6 『"He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels."』


Through baptism, we receive the forgiveness of our sins, our names are written in the book of life in heaven, and we are born again with a new life, just as Jesus was raised from the dead. That is why we are baptized.


If we have not been baptized, we cannot keep the Passover, and unless we keep the Passover, our names cannot be written in the book of life.


We must be baptized, and then keep the Passover, so that we can escape the last plagues and enter the eternal kingdom of heaven.


Amen!^^
