Dec 6, 2022 · This verse is usually involved in the debate concerning eternal security. Does Revelation 22:19 mean that, after a person’s name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, it can at some time in the future be erased? In other words, can a Christian lose his salvation?
What does Revelation 20:15 mean? It is clear from this verse that only the presence of a person's name in the Lamb's book of life keeps them from being cast into the lake of fire. God keeps accurate records. All who have trusted in Jesus as Savior have their names written in the book of life (John 6:37; Philippians 4:3).
