…To everyone who is victorious I will give some of the manna that has been hidden away in heaven. And I will give to each one a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one understands except the one who receives it. Revelation 2:17 

Scripture tells us that God knew us when He formed us in our mother’s wombs. And if He named the stars when he formed them, which the Bible says He did, then you have to know that He also named us when He formed us. And if we go to heaven, He’s going to tell us our real name written on that white stone and only He and we will know it. But if we choose to spend eternity in hell, by never asking Jesus to be our personal Savior, we will never know our real name.

“I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’

And the LORD was pleased…

“I will never again curse the ground

because of the human race,

is bent toward evil from childhood.

I will never again destroy all living things.

As long as the earth remains,

there will be planting and harvest,

cold and heat,

summer and winter,

day and night.

Genesis 8:20-22

What this means is

that those who become Christians 

become new persons.

They are not the same anymore,

for the old life is gone.

A new life has begun!

2 Corinthians 5:17

…on the seventeenth day of the second month,

all the underground waters erupted from the earth,

and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.

That very day Noah had gone into the boat

with his wife and his sons—

and their wives.

With them in the boat were pairs

of every kind of animal…

A male and a female of each kind entered,

just as God had commanded Noah.

Then the LORD closed the door behind them.

Genesis 7:11, 13, 14, 16

“Why are you so angry?”

The LORD asked Cain.

“Why do you look so dejected?

You will be accepted if you do what is right.

But if you refuse to do what is right,

then watch out!

Sin is crouching at the door,

eager to control you.

But you must subdue it and be its master.”

Genesis 4:5-7

“Where are you?”

The LORD God placed the man

in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it.

but the LORD God warned him,

“You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden—

except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

If you eat its fruit,

you are sure to die.”

The serpent was the shrewdest

of all the wild animals the LORD God had made.

One day he asked the woman,

“Did God really say you must not eat the fruit

from any of the trees in the garden?”

Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1
