How does one get into the Lamb's "book of life" if not by professing Jesus as their Lord & Savior and inviting Him into their heart? But these scriptures imply that one's name can be removed.
"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." {Revelation 3:5 KJV}
"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book." {Revelation 22:19 KJV}
OSAS (once saved, always saved) is a lie - I say this because there are many that 'profess Jesus' but do not know Him and seek no relationship with Him. They are steeped in their sins, by choice.
ISTS (if saved, then saved) is truth - a personal relationship between each person and God, without anyone else's opinion. In other words, it's NOT for me to say whether you are saved, or not, that's between you and God.
Believers must overcome, just as Jesus did ...
"To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." {Revelation 3:21 KJV}
Be overcomers.
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." {John 16:33 KJV}
"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" {1 John 5:4-5 KJV}
"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." {Revelation 3:5 KJV}
"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book." {Revelation 22:19 KJV}

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. ... He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. ... He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]. ... And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:" {Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 26 KJV}
"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. ... Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name. ... To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." {Revelation 3:5, 12, 21 KJV}
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." {Revelation 12:11 KJV}
"He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." {Revelation 21:7 KJV}
You overcome the world by your faith in Jesus - not yourself, not your fellow man; and with the Lord's help, not solely of your own 'power'. If you have faith that Jesus is the Son of God then lean on Him - He will help you overcome the challenges of this world and get you to the finish line and into eternity with Him.
Jesus' own words warn us to stay on His path and not turn from His ways ...
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." {Matthew 7:21 KJV}
"And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." {Matthew 18:3 KJV}
"And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." {Revelation 21:27 KJV}
I'm just trying to warn you! If you're on the world's path and not the Lord's path - turn back to Him now, before it's too late ... time is much shorter than you think.
NOTE: There is NO difference between the words "Lamb's book of
life" and "book of life". They are only mentioned in the New Testament
(KJV) and are therefore the same "book" and meaning.
