Mt12

Have you ever heard of the "unforgivable sin"? Maybe you wonder if you have committed it! Jesus said, "Every sin and blasphemy is forgivable accept blasphemy against the Holy Spirit." But what is that?

Consider the whole of scripture. What is the requirement for salvation? What is the basis for my salvation? Who can be saved and what must they do? The answer is clear: repent of sin and put your faith in Jesus. Another way to say it; place your trust in Jesus. Look to Him for salvation.

The unpardonable sin is rejecting the work of the Holy Spirit! His role is to lead us to embrace Jesus. To "blaspheme" Him is to reject His conviction on our lives. In this chapter, not only were they rejecting the work of Jesus, they were giving credit to Satan, for that work!

Many believe "the unpardonable sin" cannot be committed today! They believe that Jesus is speaking about a situation that is specifically happening in this context and could only happen when He was present on this earth. Yet, many die without "God's pardon." Their sins will not be forgiven. They have committed the "unpardonable sin."
