Security in the Lamb's Book
Commentators explain that what protects believers from worshipping the beast is not their own strength, but their identity in Christ. Their names are "written in the book of life of the Lamb," signifying that their salvation is secured by God's eternal love and Christ's redemptive work. This is the ultimate source of a believer's perseverance.
