Morning — August 2 — Revelation 13:8

And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain. — Revelation 13:8God's eternal decree transforms history from a series of accidents into a deliberate, sovereign rescue mission. The Lamb was foreordained before the foundation of the world, and in the fullness of time He offered Himself once for all to redeem His people, whose names were written in His Book of Life before time began. This grace predates our failures and anchors our assurance in Christ's finished work, not in our own strength. No power on earth can rewrite what God wrote.
