This ancient book of remembrance and genealogical record of the children of God, which contained the generations of Adam, was intended to be preserved and handed down from generation to generation. These records were kept by the Church. Those whose names were found therein, were known as the "children of God." This title was given to them because they had been baptized and had made covenant with the Lord. What a glorious thing it would have been if men had remained faithful through all ages, and this wonderful record had been handed down from father to son without a break! But Satan came among the people and tempted them, so "men became carnal, sensual, and devilish, and are shut out from the presence of God." Nevertheless as long as men remained faithful to their covenants, this book of remembrance was had among them and the names of the righteous were recorded therein.Share
