The Record Written in Heaven
It is well to remember that God is writing our record in heaven; but the memory of this is but little worth unless we remember that what He writes there is what we are doing or consenting to have done here. Is there written in heaven a book of remembrance of our sins?—We have first written them in our own lives, upon the tablets of our heart, intertwined them in the fibers of our being. Will God blot out the record of sins against us then?—He must first blot out the sins from the heart and the life. There can be but one record of you retained for eternity,—He wishes to retain but the one record,—and that is the law of righteousness and goodness and love transcribed into permanent individual character.
