…the faculty of the brain by which data or information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed.
The world is full of stories about memories.
Some of those stories even hint at the truth.
- False memory
- Selective memory
- Amnesia, or lack of memory
- Implicit memory
- Explicit memory
- Photographic memory
- Eidetic memory (an update on the photographic memory story)
- Long-term memory
- Short-term memory
- Autobiographical memory
- Implanted memory
- Muscle memory
- Sensory memory
- Semantic memory
- Episodic memory
- Procedural memory
[This list is not exhaustive: it merely is a starting point for discussion. There could be a WHOLE CATEGORY about the stories told about the elderly and memory.]
People speak of jogging one’s memory, something slipped one’s memory, if memory serves me and taking a trip down memory lane.
So MEMORY is a concept with which almost everyone seems to be at least a LITTLE familiar.
It has been suggested that one’s memories are a sort of perfect camera to record the events of a person’s life; that when the Bible refers to a person being judged by the books which are opened, it is referring to opening up each person’s individual memories–whether that person can remember those times and events any longer or not–and playing them back to the person who is being judged by his works.
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”
–Revelation 20:12
“I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.”
–Daniel 7:9-10
While alive in this present world, a great number of people answer the question, “How can s/he live with their self?” by exercising a form of HIGHLY-selective memory.
That is, many remember what is CONVENIENT for them to remember.
This is an option which will NOT be available to those who are judged by their works.
Using a person’s memory to judge that person would be the ultimate “You are there” experience.
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
