Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends! I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

THE BOOK OF LIFE (4:1-3)
SCRIPTURE
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends! I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the Book of Life. Philippians 4:1-3, NIV
THE “BOOKS” OF THE BIBLE
1/ The Book of the Living
2/ The Book of the Dead
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. Revelation 20:12
3/ The Lamb’s Book of Life
Theory 1: The Lamb’s Book of Life has the name of every person.
Some interpret this verse to point that direction:
The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before My Father and His angels. Revelation 3:5
Theory 2: The Lamb’s Book of Life has the name of only the redeemed.
Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15
But nothing unclean will ever enter (heaven), nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Revelation 21:27
And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast. Revelation 17:8
…and all who dwell on earth will worship (the beast), everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. Revelation 13:8
If your name is not in the book, you will worship the beast. If you worship the beast, your name is not in the book.
