Based on the information that is found in the following verses, it appears that the Lamb’s Book of Life is a separate Book that is opened during the Great White Throne Judgment. The other Books which are opened appear to be Record Books which contain all of our deeds in this earthly life. No matter what one has done in this current life, in order to be found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, he must have accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, because this is the only way to blot out our sins before our Heavenly Father.

Hello, my friend. Let’s face it. We are all human. Even as Christians, sometimes we have bad days where we want to pull out our hair. Not only that, but there are times when we go through rough periods in our lives where things look rather bleak. At such times, we may feel like we are drowning in our problems. Whatever is going on, and whatever issues we are confronting, sometimes receiving a word of encouragement from another brother or sister in the Lord — which the Bible refers to as exhortation — or knowing that our brethren in the Lord are praying for us and our situation, goes a long way towards lifting us up and encouraging us. So let me say “Thank you!” to those of you who have filled this need in my personal life on occasion through your prayers and concern. Please know that you are very much appreciated!
Following are some verses about this very topic which I hope you will enjoy reading:
“Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more . . . Wherefore comfort [exhort] one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:1, 18, KJV
“Wherefore comfort [exhort] yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11-14, KJV
“For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.” 2 Thessalonians 3:11-13, KJV
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9, KJV

You may already know this, but sharing my work on your Facebook timeline or page, or on messageboards/forums, in private chat, via email, by way of texting, or in other ways, accomplishes two positive things:
1. First of all, if you happen to be personally limited in computer resources, or if you lack sufficient knowledge and experience to set up your own online ministry, sharing my work allows you to feed and inspire other Christians — such as your family and personal friends — without having to do all of the behind-the scenes work yourself. That’s because I have already done the work for you. I have already written the articles, made the graphics, composed the poetry, compiled the KJV Bible Verse Lists, etc. All you have to do is take the initiative by clicking or tapping on the share buttons.
2. The second thing is that word of mouth and personal recommendations are a very important part of any online Christian ministry, including the Bill’s Bible Basics ministry. By clicking or tapping on the share buttons, you are helping this ministry tremendously. After all, you may be able to reach people that I will never ever meet online, or otherwise.
So if you are excited by what you find here on the BBB website, if the material feeds and inspires you, then please consider using the share buttons that you find on most BBB website pages. Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
