How did the names get written in the Book of Life?

Answered in 1 source

Names were written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world as part of God's sovereign election.

According to Revelation 17:8, names in the Book of Life have been recorded since the foundation of the world. This reveals the eternal aspect of God's election, showing that those whom He has chosen for salvation were predestined before creation. God’s sovereignty in salvation underscores that it is not dependent on human actions or decisions but solely on His will, as stated in Romans 9:15-16. This doctrine, pivotal to Reformed theology, emphasizes that salvation is rooted in God’s grace and mercy rather than the merit or foresight of individuals.
