Five Books on God’s Reading List

The Books of Men “Of the making of many books there is no end…” (Eccl. 12:12) There are approximately 142 million books in the Library of Congress Books are important to us (2 Tim. 4:13), but which books? What are the five books on God’s reading list?

The Book of the Law God’s law is recorded in a book - the 66 books of the Bible (Deut. 31:24; Rev. 1:11) It is important that we seek this book (Isa. 34:16) It is important to keep the words of this book (Rev. 21:27; 22:7,9) It is important not to alter the words of this book (Rev. 22:18-19)

The Book of Deeds Many popular figures have written books recording their deeds (athletes, politicians, celebrities) The deeds of great Bible characters have been recorded (2 Chron. 35:26-27; Job 19:23-24; Neh. 13:14) But, the deeds of all mankind, good and bad, are recorded in a book held by God (Psa. 56:8; 139:16)

The Book of Deeds The deeds of man will be the basis of God’s judgment (Mt. 12:36-37; 2 Cor. 5:10; Rom. 2:6) We cannot rewrite past pages in this book, but we can edit them (Isa. 43:25) We can control what is written on the future pages of this book (2 Peter 3:11)

The Book of Remembrance Many memorials have been erected through the years to remember important persons God has a book of remembrance in his hand of all his faithful children (Mal. 3:16-17) God is not forgetful of the good works of his people (Heb. 6:10)

The Book of Judgment God not only remembers the good of the righteous, but he also remembers the bad of the wicked (Ex. 17:14) God opens his book of judgment upon the wicked nations (Rev. 5:1-9; 10:1-11)

The Book of Life All the names of the righteous are in the book of life (Dan. 12:1; Lk. 10:20; Phil. 4:3) It is important to have our name written in this book (Rev. 13:8; 17:8; 20:15; 21:27) One’s name may be blotted out of this book through sinful living (Ex. 32:32-33; Psa. 69:28; Rev. 3:5)

God’s Reading List Open books are associated with divine judgment (Dan. 7:10; Rev. 20:12) Knowing what God is “reading”, what changes do we need to make today? The judgment day will not be a “pop quiz” … we already know what is on the test! (Jn. 12:48; Rom. 2:16)
