What is the unpardonable sin or the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall NOT be forgiven unto men. 1. This idea of one sin that ends in eternal condemnation has been troubling to many. Some feel totally defeated and hopeless before God, convinced that they have committed this unpardonable sin. 2. We recognize the terrible danger of the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, and our need to avoid this sin at all cost. At the same time, we guard our hearts against the unwarranted accusation of this sin. 3. We understand what the blasphemy of Holy Spirit is by first understanding what the ministry of the Holy Spirit is all about. Regarding the ministry of the Holy Spirit Jesus said, when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:8), and that He will testify of Me (John 15:26). 4. Therefore, when we persistently reject the work the Holy Spirit wants to do in us, when we have a continued, settled rejection of what He wants to tell us about Jesus, then we blaspheme the Holy Spirit. 5. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven - not because it is a sin too big for God to forgive, but because it is an attitude of heart that cares nothing for Gods forgiveness. It never has forgiveness because it never wants forgiveness Gods way. 6. The way to not blaspheme the Holy Spirit is to receive Jesus Christ today! Simply stop resisting His work of drawing you to Jesus, and surrender your life to Jesus today. 7. These words were never intended to torment anxious souls honestly desiring to know Christ, but they stand out as a blazing beacon warning of the danger of persisting in the rejection of the Spirits testimony of Christ, until the seared conscience no longer responds to the gospel message. There is an unpardonable sin: a rebellious sinner may reject Christ for so long that his heart becomes hardened, and the Holy Spirit may cease to strive with him (Gen. 6:3). For those who crucified Him, Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. (Luke 23:34). He implied that if they had come to perfect understanding of what they were doing in rejecting Christ, then they would have passed the point of forgiveness and their sin would have been unpardonable.
