What is the Book of Life?

Answered in 1 source

The Book of Life is a divine record of those who are saved, where the names of the elect are written for eternity.

The Book of Life is mentioned in several passages and signifies those whom God has chosen for salvation. Revelation 20:12 describes it as a crucial element in the final judgment when one’s name must be found in this book to avoid condemnation. It is rooted in God's sovereign grace, as Ephesians 1:4 indicates that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This emphasizes that salvation is not based on human merit or decisions but rather on God's electing love which undergirds the assurance of eternal life.
