How do we know the names in the Lamb's Book of Life?
Answered in 1 source
The names in the Lamb's Book of Life are those chosen by God and written there before the world began, signifying their eternal security.
The concept of the Lamb's Book of Life highlights the doctrine of election in Reformed theology. Revelation 13:8 describes that those whose names were not written in the book from the foundation of the world will be judged. This indicates that God's knowledge and election precede our existence. Furthermore, Exodus 6 emphasizes that God is meticulous in naming His chosen people, implying that every name is significant, and their inclusion is rooted in God's eternal, predetermined plan. The assurance that one’s name is in this book brings comfort to believers, affirming their salvation cannot be undone.
