Malachi 3:17

A Book Of Remembrance Is Written

¹⁶ Then those who respected the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord took notice. A scroll was prepared before him in which were recorded the names of those who respected the Lord and honored his name. ¹⁷ "They will belong to me," says the Lord who rules over all, "in the day when I prepare my own special property. I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. ¹⁸ Then once more you will see that I make a distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not.
