Works.....................
Gal 5:
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,[fn] fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21 envy, murders,[fn] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told
you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Eph 5:
8 For you were once darkness, but now
you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
9 (for the fruit of the Spirit
is in all
goodness, righteousness, and truth),
10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
11And
have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose
them.
Jeremiah 17:10
I Yahweh, searching heart,
examining the affections/kidneys/ 03629 kilyah
and
giving to man ways of him, as fruit of his doings. [Revelation 2:23]
Revelation 2:23
And the offspring of her I shall be killing in death, and shall be knowing all the Out-Calleds
that I AM the One searching kidneys/nefrouV <3510> and hearts
and I shall be giving to Ye each according to the works of Ye. [Jeremiah 17:10]
Revelation 14:13
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,[fn] “Write: ‘Blessed
are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.' ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors,
and their works follow them.”
Revelation 20:
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and
books were opened. And another
book was opened, which is the Book of the Life.
And the dead were judged according to
their works, by the things which were
written in the books.
13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them.
And they were judged, each one according to his works.

Kindgdom Bible Studies Lambs Book of Life Part 1

1. The Book of the Life of the Lamb 3
2. The Book of Life Written In the Heart 25
3. The Judgment Day 47
According to the Emphatic Diaglott the correct rendering of the latter part of this passage is: "The Book of the Life of the Lamb." Now, what is meant by this term –
THE BOOK OF THE LIFE OF THE LAMB? The wise man said, "..
.of the making of many books there is no end..." (Eccl. 12:12). T
The book stores are filled to overflowing today with all types of books dealing with every aspect of earthly life. Even in the church world there are books setting forth every kind of viewpoint relating to God, the Bible, doctrine, Christian experience, and church order. However the subject material of most of these books largely contains a message of religious tradition and spiritual death. But God is also producing a book – a book containing a message of life. For the past two millenniums God, by His Holy Spirit, has been writing portions of this Book in the minds and hearts of His people.
"Paul wrote to the Corinthians, setting forth this truth,
'You are those who are openly shown to be a letter which exhibits Christ, this letter having been ministered (written) by us, not having been written with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets that are human hearts' (II Cor. 3:3, Wuest). OH TO BE A LETTER WHICH EXHIBITS CHRIST! That is the real intent and purpose of the dual function of the Word and the Spirit. And when we have put on the garment of the fullness of Christ, we will have become an epistle which exhibits Him. We should then understand and know that God is daily writing His truth upon our hearts, and He will continue to write upon our lives until we become all that the written word contains. It is also a great truth to know that the law of God, once written upon tables of stone, is now being written upon the tables of our hearts. The same finger of God that wrote the stone tablets is now writing upon the fleshly tables of our hearts. This is the new covenant, the covenant of the New Testament. The great distinction between the Old testament and the New is that the law which was written on stone tablets, and which could not be kept by unregenerate man, is now being written upon our hearts SO that by the power of the indwelling Christ, we are thus enabled to fulfill all the law because we have a new nature, the very nature of Christ.
THE JUDGMENT DAY
It is written: "God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil" (Eccl. 12:14), for, "God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ" (Rom. 2:16).
Ah – you will despair and shrink before God's judgments until you clearly understand that God does not open your book to destroy you – but to DELIVER YOU! God brings no man to judgment apart from the opening of his book. It is a divine law – God can never deliver you, nor any man, until the corruption in your heart has been drawn into outward manifestation, exposed, to be dealt with by God's stern and tender hand. When the inner nature erupts in some outward uncleanness, DO NOT DESPAIR! Thank God for exposing the deceitfulness and wickedness, cast yourself upon the tender mercies of the Lord, and yield yourself under His mighty hand that victory may be obtained in your earth.
We must never be discouraged when the motions of the flesh and the carnal mind overwhelm us, but neither should we become complacent about it, for God will send forth judgment unto victory however long it takes and however severe the dealings. He will never terminate His judgments until every man is conformed into the image of the glorious Son of God.
