This is the most important assurance a human heart can seek. The desire to have your name in the Lamb's Book of Life is the desire for eternal salvation and a permanent relationship with God.
The beautiful truth of the Gospel is that this is not something we "ensure" by our own works, but something we receive by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. God Himself ensures it for us.
Here is the promise and the path, rooted in Scripture.

Your Name in the Book of Life
The books will open, the records read,
Of every word and every deed.
And who can stand on that great day?
Whose name will never fade away?
There is one book, of greatest worth,
That lists the souls of second birth.
The Lamb's own Book,sealed with His pain,
Where those He purchased have their name.
“Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.” (Ecclesiastes 7:20)
My own deeds form a guilty plea,
That cannot set my spirit free.
But hear the promise, strong and clear,
That banishes all doubt and fear:
“The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels.”(Revelation 3:5)
How do we share this victory?
It is a gift,for you and me.
It is through faith in God's own Son,
The holy,anointed, righteous One.
“Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” (Acts 10:43)
When you believe, your name is sealed,
A heavenly transaction,signed and real.
God writes it down,His promise stands,
Held by His own eternal hands.
“The Lord knows those who are his…”(2 Timothy 2:19)
You cannot earn it, you cannot strive,
This is the truth that makes alive.
You simply come,by faith, receive,
And in His promise,firm, believe.
So do not strive in anxious fear,
But trust the One who holds you dear.
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.”(John 10:27-28)
If you have placed your trust in Christ, your name is written. It is secure. He ensures it.

How to Have This Assurance:
The Bible is clear on how a name is written in the Book of Life:
1. Acknowledge Your Need: Recognize that you are a sinner and cannot save yourself (Romans 3:23).
2. Believe in Jesus: Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died for your sins, and that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
3. Receive Him as Lord: Turn from your sin (repentance) and receive Jesus Christ as the Lord and Master of your life (John 1:12).
This is not a prayer you pray to earn something, but a faith you express to receive what God has already provided.
A Prayer of Faith:
"Heavenly Father,
I come to You today, acknowledging that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself. I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross for my sins and rose again from the dead to give me eternal life.
I turn from my sin and I place my full trust in Jesus alone for my salvation. I receive Him now as my Lord and Savior.
Thank you for forgiving my sins and for writing my name in the Lamb's Book of Life. I rest in this promise, not based on my feelings, but on the finished work of Jesus and the truth of Your Word.
In Jesus' name, Amen."
If you prayed that prayer and meant it from your heart, you can have full assurance. Your name is written. It is sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). Rejoice in this truth today
