"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book." By this we see the importance of having our names written in the book of life. All whose names are registered there will be delivered from Satan's power, and Christ will command that their filthy garments be removed, and that they be clothed with his righteousness. "And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him."

"Til den tid skal Mikal stå frem, den store fyrste, som værner dit folks sønner, og en trængselstid kommer, som hidtil ikke har haft sin mage, så længe der var folkeslag til. Men på den tid skal dit folk frelses, alle, der er optegnet i bogen." Derved ser vi vigtigheden af at have vore navne skrevet i livets bog. Af dette ser vi vigtigheden af at have vore navne i livets bog. Alle, hvis navne er skrevet der, vil blive udfriet fra Satans magt, og Kristus vil befale, at deres snavsede klæder skal fjernes, og at de skal iklædes hans retfærdighed. “Den dag jeg griber ind, skal de tilhøre mig som mit eje, siger Hærskarers Herre, og jeg vil handle nænsomt med dem, som en fader handler nænsomt med sin søn, der tjener ham.” [Mal. 3, 17.]
