Reading
Revelation 3:1-22
Keys to the Text
Book of Life: This is the first mention of this divine journal. This book records the names of all those whom God has chosen to save and who, therefore, are to possess eternal life (13:8; 17:8; 20:12, 15; 21:27; 22:19). Under no circumstances will God erase those names, as city officials often did of undesirable people on their rolls.
Jesus Christ: Revelation makes it clear that Jesus is the "Alpha and Omega," the "Beginning and the End." He is the "Beginning" (literally "beginner, originator, initiator") of creation and the "firstborn of creation;" that is, the most preeminent, supreme person ever born (Colossians 1:15). As a man, he had a beginning, but as God, He was the beginning. Sadly, in Laodicea the heresy that Christ was just a created being had produced an unregenerate church.

1. By asking God to save them and believing in Him.
2. Because if we dont understand that he is 100% God then we will have doubts in our walk and if we dont understand that he was 100% man, then we would trust him because we wouldnt think he knows what we go trhough. It is important to grasp this concept completely because if we don't we will stumble and fail in our Christian walk.
1. by asking God to save them and believing he will
2. because he is God before he came to earth and now in heaven and he is man because he came to the earth.

By excepting Jesus Christ as their lord and savior and knowing that he died on the cross for your sins, and admitting your a sinner.
NOT BY "LIVING A GOOD LIFE"
2. Why is it important to understand that Jesus Christ was 100% God, 100% man?
Becuase He was a normal man because he knew the temptations that we ALL face but his 100% God is showed in that he never sinned.
1. by asking Jesus into their hearts and to be their Lord and savior. to put their faith and trust in Him.
2. it just shows that God is so perfect, that even as a man He still cannot sin. also, if he came down to earth to save us just 100% God and not 100% man then it wouldnt be as special. God showed how much he loves us by going through all the pain a human would have felt.
