We all going to be judge on everything we do in this world so first we need to make shore that our name is in the book of live and second that we do all the commandments that Jesus told us to do throw the apostle.

I love the idea that we are writing our own book. That feels so good, so right. It also feels right that the book of Life records belongs to Jesus Christ as God promised him all those who would accept him. But we are all sinners and we will all be judged by what is written in our own book. And the fact that non-Christians will also be judged by their works is wonderful news indeed. It sounds like God knows that there are those who have lived good lives, and why should they live their lives just to lose them, while there are those who loudly proclaim to belong to Christ but abuse little children and do other heinous crimes. God is just!

I am confused. I thought we were not to be judged for our works but by our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ the son of God, and that he died for our sins on the cross. I understand our works should reflect our love of Christ and our life in Him but that none of us gets into heaven by our works.

Everyone is writing a book and they will be judged by their works. Everyone has had a vision dream or day vision and then seen it come to pass. That is because we were all made in the image of GOD. and He poured out his spirit in Acts 2, and is still doing so today. So the books will be in real time visual on judgment day. If you can read a story and see the story line in your mind, then you know how you book is going to be displayed.
