MEMORY VERSE
_“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” Revelation 20:15._
CENTRAL TRUTH
After death is judgment. There is not repentance after death.
INTRODUCTION
The great white throne judgment as described in Revelation 20:11-15 is the final judgment before the lost will be cast into the lake of fire. Verse 12 says both small and great appeared before the throne of judgment. This is to say that young people are not exempted. That you are able to distinguish your left from your right and you know what is right and what is wrong, then you are capable of being responsible for your actions. The Bible says after death there is going to be a judgment that will separate us into 2 different places; Heaven or hell. How are you preparing for this day?
STUDY GUIDE:
What we need to know about this white throne judgment?
1. Every soul living and dead will face the judgment.
2. 2 books will be opened. Revelation 20:12
BOOKS 1 – The books containing the records of our works; whether they are good or bad, because God knows everything that we have ever been said, done or even thought about. And He will reward or punish each one accordingly. Psalm 62:12; Revelation 22:12
BOOK 2 – This is the book of life. Revelation 20:12. It is the book that determines whether a person will inherit eternal life with God or receive everlasting punishment in the lake of fire.

LIFE APPLICATION
Are you willing to give it all it takes to make heaven? Is your name in the book of life? If yes, congratulations. If no, or you are not sure, you have the opportunity right away to aloe Jesus to write your name in it. That you are still living and you are reading this show that God loves you and He wants you to be saved. Remember there is no opportunity for repentance after death. Make amends and let your name be written in the book of life before it is too late.
INVITATION
It is only those that have given their lives to Jesus and are washed by His blood that their names are written in the book of life. Is your name there? If not, give your life to Jesus now.
DISCUSSION
How will you feel if someone you think is a dedicated Christian could not make heaven?
CONCLUSION
The fact that all men are going to face a final judgment, whether you are a believer or not is clearly confirmed in many passages of the Bible. Stop deceiving yourself. Amend your ways today. It is not the will of our heavenly Father that anyone should perish Matthew 18:14. It is only those that their names are found in the book of life that will enter into the kingdom of God, while anyone that his/her name is not found will be sent to everlasting hell fire. The choice is yours!
Prayer
Jesus, please help me to reign with You in Your kingdom.
