But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. Mark 3:29 KJV
This statement is referred to as The Unpardonable Sin, which Jesus defined as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The possibility of committing this sin has terrified many, and it should, because it leads to eternal damnation. The men that Jesus gave this warning to, by misrepresenting the work of the Holy Spirit in Him, were rejecting the only avenue of salvation available to them.The unpardonable sin is the continued rejection of the testimony of the Spirit in all that Jesus accomplished. As a person continues to do so, their hearts are hardened until they cross a line of no return. How can we be certain never to commit this sin? By surrendering to the work of the Spirit, and receiving Jesus Christ.
Lord, I am grateful for the work of the Holy Spirit in all that You did for me, especially Your death at the cross and resurrection from the grave. I am also grateful for His convicting work in my own life which brought me to faith in You.
