According to their DEEDS!

Rev.20:12-13  And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and [a]books were opened; and another [b]book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the [c]books, according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them according to their deeds.

 At the judgment, the books are opened.  They represented God’s judgment and recorded the deeds of everyone, good or evil.  Deeds do not save us, but deeds are seen as clear evidence of a person’s actual relationship with God. The Book of Life contains the names of those who put their trust in Christ to save them.
