Revelation 20:12
12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.
The dead are judged by what they have done. Being in the book of life does not mean that you are not judged.
Really interesting study this evening, looking at Revelation 17-19
Some notes/thoughts:
The subtle temptations of Babylon seeking to seduce us. We should be seduced by the Bridegroom, not Babylon.
What does it mean to come out of Babylon? To reject the subtle, mundane temptations and not to forget that we are in a spiritual war.
There is a distinction between remorse (passive) and repentance. Repentance is an active thing - do we stop, turn round, actively flee?
How do we reject Babylon? Reading the Bible, being immersed in His word, understanding our inheritance - we are bought with a price - we are not our own.
