So it says in revelations20 12-15
12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Given that it says bookS (plural), we are to be judged using 2 books. The one is the book of deeds, which includes all men and by which all men are condemned. The other contains only the names of those who have accepted Christ, the saved. This is the book of life. I am confused.. so if we are in the book of life we are automatically saved right? Then what is the purpose of the book of deeds?
