Pastor explains Revelation 3:5

Question: Does Revelation 3:5 imply that we may lose our salvation?

- Reggie Newcomb,

Chesterfield, Va.

Answer: Revelation 3:5 says, “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life …” Many people have mistakenly believed that verse suggests we may lose our salvation. They say that if Jesus said he won’t erase one person’s name, then there’s the possibility that he might erase other people’s names.

Yet, the New Testament’s overall teaching is the security of our salvation. If a person truly commits his or her soul to Jesus believing in his promise to save them, they can rest in the assurance that they won’t lose their salvation. John 3:16 promises that whoever believes in Jesus will have eternal life and will never perish. Jesus said in Luke 21:18, “There shall not an hair of your head perish.” John 10:28 quotes Jesus as proclaiming, “I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish.”

Our salvation is secure because it’s God who saves us; not our good works. “For by grace are you saved through faith; and not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). If Jesus saves us he can keep us saved. In John 5:24 Jesus said, “He who hears my word and believes on him that sent me has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation.”

Believing the above, then, we must resolve the question arising from Revelation 3:5. Some teachers suggest there may be two books keeping the records of our faith, or lack of it. Perhaps the “Book of Life” (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:5, etc.) is a register of all who have ever lived. If so, those choosing to reject Jesus as their Savior will have their name removed because they were never alive spiritually. But, those in the “Lamb’s Book of Life” (Revelation 13:8; 21:27) will never have their names blotted out because they are written indelibly by the blood of Christ. While that may be true, I think the best solution is the simplest one: The Greek word “oume” translated “not” in the King James is a double negative combining “not” and “absolutely not.” It’s simply a guarantee from Jesus that he will not, absolutely not, remove the names of those who trust in him.

At the beginning of a new year let us rest in the assurance that, “He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). At the end of the age he promises to present all who believe in him as being without spot or wrinkle, holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27). All this is because of his amazing grace!

Old Mutual Agrees to Sell Its Finnish Operations to Skandia Life Assurance

Old Mutual Plc (OML), the third-biggest
U.K. insurer, rose to its highest in Johannesburg since before
the 2008 global financial crisis after saying it will sell the
Finnish unit of Skandia Life Assurance Co. Ltd. to Finland’s
banking co-operative, the OP-Pohjola Group, to cut debt.

Old Mutual rose as much as 2.1 percent and closed 0.7
percent higher at 16.81 rand in Johannesburg, its highest close
since June 2008. In London, the stock added 0.8 percent to 130.4
pence as of 3:23 p.m.

“The transaction is part of Old Mutual’s commitment to
streamlining its business,” the London-based insurer said in a
statement today. The Finnish unit had gross assets of 1.3
billion euros ($1.7 billion) at the end of September, Old Mutual
said, without disclosing the sale price.

On Dec. 15 Old Mutual, founded in South Africa in 1845,
announced the sale of its Nordic unit to Skandia Liv for 2.1
billion pounds ($3.3 billion). The cash sale of Skandia
Insurance Co. Ltd. included Old Mutual’s long-term savings and
banking operations in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, while
excluding the Finnish business. Old Mutual, Africa’s biggest
insurer, bought Skandia AB in June 2006 for 56 billion kronor
($8 billion) to enter Scandinavia and bolster sales in the U.K.

“Skandia Finland is small, but if you add that to the
Nordic sale, it will now enhance the special dividend payable to
shareholders,” Patrice Rassou, head of equities at Sanlam
Investment Management in Cape Town, said in an e-mailed response
to questions. “Old Mutual (OML) is now definitely enhancing value,
and it’s hard to justify the large discount to embedded value.”
