In an article entitled, “7 Questions about Once Saved, Always Saved,” Joe McKeever asks, “Can you unfry an egg?” He then goes on to confidently state, “Then, after being saved—genuinely forgiven and accepted and transformed by the Holy Spirit of God into something far different from what you were, more than any hen’s egg ever dreamed possible—you cannot undo it. Once saved, always saved. To say otherwise, and to preach it, might be something akin to insulting the Holy Spirit.” Mr. McKeever goes on in the article to make a positive case for eternal security, explaining the biblical case for why this is true and should be believed.
While you cannot unfry an egg, a Christian can most certainly lose salvation if not careful. “For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries” (Hebrews 10:26-27).
[Editor’s Note: Illustrations are great and useful only if they correctly and accurately illustrate a biblical truth. Illustrations of themselves and by themselves do not prove anything! As brother Baxley indicated, the fried egg illustration above is cute, but it does not represent biblical truth. ~ Louis Rushmore, Editor]
