The Lord Jesus says that the real ground of joy is the fact that our names are written by Him in Heaven. This is the ground of true heavenly joy. This gives joy unspeakable and full of glory – a joy that no man can take from us. For this is the beginning of joy, and tribulation cannot rob us of it.
Is your name written in the book of life by the Lord Jesus – written with His nail-pierced Hand? Repent of your sins. Be washed in His blood. Be clothed in the garment of His righteous. Then and only then is your name written there. Please make sure without delay that your names are found in the Lamb’s book of life.
“He hath clothed me with garments of salvation” Isa.61: 10. There is a fullness of joy when we have those garments. They give us boldness and liberty to call upon the Living God anywhere. They are the righteousness and life of our very Lord Himself. The life of the Lord Jesus Christ clothes our spirits when we receive Him as savior. It is in this that we “greatly rejoice”.
