What could Psalm 87 possibly have to do with the Lamb's Book of Life? More than you might expect. Psalm 87 gives us a remarkable picture of God recording the names of those who belong to Him. The New Testament takes that truth even further—pointing us toward our citizenship in heaven and the names written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Jesus told His disciples, “Rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.” Luke 10:20 There may be no greater reason for a Christian to rejoice.
