What is the unpardonable sin?

                                       What is the unpardonable sin?

The unpardonable/unforgivable sin or “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit” is mentioned in Mark 3:22–30 and Matthew 12:22–32. Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter” (Mark 3:28), but then He gives one exception: “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin” (verse 29).

According to Jesus, the unpardonable or unforgivable sin is unique. It is the one iniquity that will never be forgiven (“never” is the meaning of “either in this age or in the age to come” in Matthew 12:32). The unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit in the context of the Spirit’s work in the world through Christ. In other words, the particular case of blasphemy seen in Matthew 12 and Mark 3 is unique. The guilty party, a group of Pharisees, had witnessed irrefutable evidence that Jesus was working miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit, yet they claimed that He was possessed by the prince of demons, Beelzebul (Matthew 12:24; Mark 3:30).

The Jewish leaders of Jesus’ day committed the unpardonable sin by accusing Jesus Christ of being demon-possessed. They had no excuse for such an action. They were not speaking out of ignorance or misunderstanding. The Pharisees knew that Jesus was the Messiah sent by God to save Israel. They knew the prophecies were being fulfilled. They saw Jesus’ wonderful works, and they heard His clear presentation of truth. Yet they deliberately chose to deny the truth and slander the Holy Spirit. Standing before the Light of the World, bathed in His glory, they defiantly closed their eyes and became willfully blind. Jesus pronounced that sin to be unforgivable.

 The blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, specific as it was to the Pharisees’ situation,

1.    cannot be duplicated today.

2.     Jesus Christ is not on earth,

3.    and no one can personally see Jesus perform a miracle and then attribute that power to Satan instead of the Spirit.

The only unpardonable sin today is that of continued unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who dies in his rejection of Christ. The Holy Spirit is at work in the world, convicting the unsaved of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). If a person resists that conviction and remains unrepentant, then he is choosing hell over heaven. “Without faith it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6), and the object of faith is Jesus (Acts 16:31). There is no forgiveness for someone who dies without faith in Christ.

God has provided for our salvation in His Son (John 3:16). Forgiveness is found exclusively in Jesus (John 14:6). To reject the only Savior is to be left with no means of salvation; “to reject the only pardon is, obviously, unpardonable”.

Many people fear they have committed some sin that God cannot or will not forgive, and they feel there is no hope for them, no matter what they do. Satan would like nothing more than to keep people laboring under that misconception. God gives encouragement to the sinner who is convicted of his sin: “Come near to God and he will come near to you” (James 4:8). “Where sin increased, grace increased all the more” (Romans 5:20). And the testimony of Paul is proof positive that God can and will save anyone who comes to Him in faith (1 Timothy 1:12–17).

If you are suffering under a load of guilt today, rest assured that you have not committed the unpardonable sin.

God is waiting with open arms. Jesus’ promise is that “he is able to save completely those who come to God through him” (Hebrews 7:25). Our Lord will never fail. “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation” (Isaiah 12:2).

Jesus said to Peter “why did you doubt

                             Jesus said to Peter “why did you doubt

 Matthew 14, 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

When Peter begin to sink in the storm because he took his eyes off Jesus, the Lord rebuked him and asked, “Why did you doubt?”

Peter had seen Jesus:-

Heal all manner of diseases,

Cast out demons,

Open blind eyes,

Multiply the five loaves and two fish to feed 5,000, and

Raise Jairus' daughter from the dead.

 Yet, when he took his eyes off Christ and began to focus on his circumstances, he began to doubt.

 Beloved, is your faith beginning to waver concerning the promises God has given you? Have you allowed your eyes to become focused upon your circumstances until your heart has become filled with fear and unbelief and you cannot get the breakthrough you need? Christ is saying to you, “Why do you doubt?”

 There is no reason to ever doubt or question! Jesus' power and presence are just as real in the midst of His people today as it was when He walked upon the earth 2,000 years ago. It is time for no more doubt, no more wavering. We are breaking down the walls of unbelief.

(Hebrews 3:12). One of the greatest dangers you will ever face is that unbelief would gain entrance into your heart. Paul said, “Take heed!”.Apostle Paul reminds us that the children of Israel failed to enter the Promised Land through their unbelief. One of the greatest dangers you will ever face is that unbelief would gain entrance into your heart. Paul said, “Take heed!” You must be constantly on guard and watching so there will be no opening for unbelief to enter your life. Shut out all unbelief and refuse to allow it into your heart!

 Once unbelief enters your heart,

it will affect your thoughts,

the words coming out of your mouth and

your actions.

Instead of releasing faith to believe God for the things you need, you will be living in doubt and defeat. Jesus said, “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matthew 12:34). If you allow even the slightest trace of unbelief into your heart, you will eventually begin to murmur, complain, and speak words of doubt, fear and unbelief. If doubt remains, it will eventually lead to disobedience and rebellion against God.

God intends you and me to operate under the same power, the same authority, the same anointing, and the same manifestation of faith that Jesus had! But how is that going to be possible? The supernatural faith manifested in the lives of the disciples and believers in the Early Church was not something they were able to produce through their own efforts. They did nott try to work it up. They received a divine infusion of the supernatural faith of God on the Day of Pentecost when Jesus came to dwell in them by the Spirit. Faith came with Jesus. He is the Source, He is the Author and Finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:1-2). Jesus is the source of our faith.

Shut out unbelief! Don't allow your heart and mind to be filled with thoughts of doubt and unbelief. Reject them and keep your heart and mind fixed upon God and His Word. Meditate upon His promises until every core of your being is literally charged with faith!

Make this declaration:

I am shutting the door of unbelief. I am rejecting it in the Name of Jesus. I will keep my heart and mind fixed upon God and His Word. I will meditate on His promises.

HOW TO GROW IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST

                                 HOW TO GROW IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST

By now you may be saying, “What can I do? I do not  have that kind of love for the Lord yet. I want to, but I am not quite there.”

 Let me help you. Know that He is right there with you, knocking at the door of your heart, longing to come in (see Revelation 3:20). The only problem is that you do not know how to come into the experience of His Presence. You do not know how to open the door.

 To help you discover where the blockage may be, sit down and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you through the following questions. Just sit quietly and concentrate on His love that how much he loved you, suffered stripes on His bodies, crowed with the crown of thorns, smitten with reed on His Head, blood came out of His head, Soldiers spat over on HIM, taken to cross and He was nailed on the cross by nailing on His hands and feet. This all He did because He loves you and ask your selves the following questions: -  

1.Do I really crave and desire His Presence more than anything else in the world, no matter where I am or what the circumstances are?

2.Do I take the time each day to meet with Him, to spend time with Him, time when I am not begging for anything or dictating to Him but just being still before Him in adoration and worship?

3.Do I raise my voice to Him, singing to Him in my heart, praising and thanking Him continually, or do I withhold it because I am afraid?

4.When He asks me to do something, what is my response, and how quick is it?

5.Am I totally willing to relinquish my fears (which I have become so accustomed to), so that I might dwell quietly in His peace?

6.Do I get so caught up in the cares and works of this world that I postpone devoting myself to a relationship with Him?

7.Does He mean more to me than my reputation, the opinions of others, my family, my possessions, or my ambitions, even my ambitions for Him?

8.How much does obedience to Him mean to me? Have I completely given Him my will? What price am I willing to pay?

9. Do I have some vows which I have not fulfilled?

Whatever that price is, please do not be afraid. Make up your mind now that you are willing to pay it. Then you can face anything in your life.

I have done it and doing it , when I do tears come out of my eyes , such is His love.
