Revelation 13:8
"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
This week we finish our series Epic Fails—God Prevails. It’s been powerful to see how people fail again and again—yet God always comes through.
Last week we looked at Saul becoming Paul: from persecutor of Christians to apostle of Christ—one of history’s greatest proofs of God’s redeeming grace. No one is beyond His reach. Not even you.
When he was Saul, the world called him a success—respected, feared, powerful. But when God prevailed and he became Paul, the world rejected him: jailed, beaten, and finally killed.
God’s idea of success looks nothing like the world’s.
Today we’re jumping to the last book to see how the story ends. Revelation 13:8 tells us a day is coming when everyone on earth will worship the beast—everyone whose name is not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
That little phrase—“slain from the foundation of the world”—is staggering. Before God spoke the universe into being, Jesus was already the Lamb who would be slain for you. Your redemption wasn’t Plan B; it was the eternal plan. God knew you, chose you, and secured you in Christ before time began.
So yes—people fail, empires fall, beasts rise… but the Lamb wins.
And because your name is written in His book, God prevails—for you—forever.
