which are not written in this book

The Mitchell Report has been getting all the press the last two days. Columnists were looking forward to bloviating. Fans were looking forward to salacious gossip. Those on high horses were looking forward to shaking their head and saying "I told you so." And baseball players were looking forward to seeing whether or not they got away with cheating the system. The report itself is a hefty 400+ pages.

You know, whether you are columnist, fan, horserider, or player, there is a hefty tome that should be of greater interest to you: the Book of Life. That Grand Book contains names alright, only this time you want in on the mentioning. That Grand Book lists all those who have bowed their knee before Messiah Christ. And the Bible says "And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

Unlike the Mitchell Report, your history doesn't matter. Christ doesn't base your salvation on who you are or what you've done. Christ bases your salvation on the depth of His great love for you. All you have to do to be part of the only report that matters is to ask Jesus Christ into your life. The Bible says "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

No need for an independent panel to weigh your merits, friend. God Almighty has that pen in His hand waiting to make an addition to that Grand Book. Will you make that choice today?
