Biblical Exegesis: Revelation 3: 4 & 5

Image via Wikipedia

It's come to my attention that Revelations 3:5 is sometimes viewed as saying that it is possible for a person to loose his or her salvation. Instead of just looking at verses 3 and 4.

⁴Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. ⁵He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.

Jesus is talking here. It seems to me, from the context, that Jesus is not talking about those who are not in the Book of Life. Instead, Jesus is talking about the characteristics of those in the Book of Life. Jesus is not telling us that people who overcomes the suffering and tribulations of life get to be in the Book of Life. Jesus is saying that a characteristic of those who overcome will be that they will not be erased from the book. This means that they will be in that book. No where in scripture do we see an example of someone who becomes "unborn again". Someone who is written in the Book of Life and then dropped. We did not save ourselves, why would we think that we can loose what we did not gain on our own. Therefore an apostate wold never have been in the Book of Life in the first place.
