Save to A: Drive Floppy??

                    I’m sure most of you know that Levi LOVES to draw.  Not all that he draws I would call insightful, but shortly after my great Aunt Tina passed away, I seen one of Levi’s drawings that had a hand coming out of heaven with a finger about to push the Delete button on a computer keyboard and under the hand was a box of 3 1/2”  floppy disks that had SAVED written on it;   Tina’s name was on one, and Levi’s on another.

          I started to think of all the thousands of words that picture just painted.

          Like; is your name written in the Book of life?  That floppy disk with Tina’s name on it was God’s file on Tina.  The disk with Levi’s Name was God’s file on Levi.  Each of us would have are own file.  “Book of life”   Rev. 20: 11-15

 11.And I saw a great white throne, and him that 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, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (KJV)

            God reaching for the delete key, is some one else about to die or fall asleep. 1Th 4:13-18…

 13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (KJV)

          Or was God deleting the sins of a Christian never to be remembered again?  Heb. 8:10-12

 1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

 3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

 4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

 5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

 6 ¶ But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

(KJV)

            While we are alive, we are writing our own files;  always adding to them each day of our lives. Rev. 14:13

 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.(KJV)

                                                                                                OR   Rev. 3:1

Re 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

 4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

 5 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.

 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.(KJV)

            God has each of our files and no one can add to that file but you.  Your deeds, good or bad, can’t go on someone else’s file, or theirs onto your file.

When you go to close a file you are asked if you want to save changes made to the document?  At the end of the day, when you lay down to sleep, the changes good and bad of that day are waiting to be added to your file.  Ask God to forgive you of your sins of that day and the bad deeds will be deleted from your file…… as long as you have given God your PASSWORD.

Password is my last similarity.  Sometimes you need a password to enter a program or file to change its contents.  Just like we need a password to have our changes made to our book of life, and that password is JESUS.

Ac 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

1Jo 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

1Jo 2:12  I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV)
