How does a person get their name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life?

Revelation 21:27 says "But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life." (NKJV). 

Now to answer your question...

A person gets their name written in the Book of Life by repenting of sin and believing in Jesus Christ as their personal savior. John 3:16-17 says "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."

Once a sinner turns to Christ, his sins are immediately forgiven and he is transformed from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. He is counted among God's covenant people and is numbered as a member of God's household of faith (John 1:12; Galatians 6:10). 

The final record of the Lamb's Book of Life will contain a list of all believers who will have turned to Christ from Calvary and until His coming. Their names will not be erased from the Book of Life no matter what suffering they undergo in this passing evil world. 

Believers have been sealed with the Holy Spirit for the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30). God is faithful to honor His promises in Scripture (Numbers 23:19). His promise of the coming of Christ and the rapture of the church to heaven will be fulfilled at His appointed time. 

In Revelation 20:15, the Bible says "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before [c]God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (NKJV). 

Is your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life?
