PROMISE FOR SEPTEMBER 29TH

"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before His angels." Rev. 3:5

The Bible mentions two books of life--one appertaining to the present time, and the other to the Millennial Age....The special Book of Life that is open at this present time is the one in which the names of all the overcomers of this Gospel Age are written....This recording has been going on throughout this present Age. This means that those whose names are therein written are not only members of the family of God, but also members of the Bride class. In order to maintain this position, they must be overcomers....In this text we may not be sure whether or not the Great Company is included. From one standpoint it looks as though they were; from another, as though they may not be. We do well not to settle it too definitely in our minds, but wait to see what the Lord's intention is.
