This expression is used seven times in the Revelation, and in Phil. 4:3 only. It is called the Lamb’s book of life, and has contained from the foundation of the world the names of all who are saved. Whoever is not found written there shall be cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:15). Other “books” are spoken of. Moses mentions one in Ex. 32:32; and Daniel in Dan. 12:1; and in Rev. 20:12, we find there are books of works, out of which the lost are judged. But the saved shall never come into judgment (John 5:24 lit.), and the book of life contains their names alone.
