Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And 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. The 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 they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:11–15

One day you will stand before God and be judged for what you have done in life. But nothing you say or do is as important as this one detail that fixes your eternal destiny. That detail is whether your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life or not. 

Scripture tells us that those whose name is not written in the Book of Life, those who never placed their faith in Jesus, will be cast into the Lake of Fire. But all who have believed in Jesus have their names written in this book, and on Judgement Day they will be declared innocent on account of His atoning death and will ushered into eternal life. 

Revelation chapters 21 and 22 tell us that this world will pass away. And God will make a new heaven and a new earth. And the Heavenly City, Jerusalem, will come down from heaven to this new earth. And that is where Jesus’ throne will be. Believers won’t spend eternity in some spiritual place, sitting on clouds and playing harps. No! Our great hope is a physical resurrection and eternal life lived on this new heaven and new earth. Our great hope is dwelling with the Lord in paradise… in a place with no mourning, no crying, no pain, no poverty and no death. There we will have an eternity to spend with Jesus, reigning over God’s creation for His glory.

The question I have for you is this: Are you sure you will be there? Do you believe in Jesus? Have you accepted Him as Lord of your life? Are you certain that your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? If not, then confess your sins; put your faith in Jesus' atoning death and resurrection for the forgiveness of your sins; and make Him Lord of your life today.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
