We are all writing a book!

(Charles Orr, "Divine Realities")

"The dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works!" Revelation 20:12 

Every person has their book. You have yours — and I have mine. In our text, we are told that we are going to be judged out of the books, according to our works. We are all writing a book! We are writing in our own book. I cannot write in yours — nor you in mine. 

You are responsible for what is in your book. You are writing out your own record every moment! What you think, what you say, and what you do — are all being recorded. There will be no false entries in your book. The record is self recording. Every deed records itself. 

"You must give an account on judgment day — for every idle word you speak!" Matthew 12:36. If you do not want an idle word recorded against you — then do not speak it!
