There is 3 types of sin: 1) Carnal sin 2) Sin consciousness 3) Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit Sin is sin, no matter how small or how big it is – sin remains sin like stealing remains stealing. Carnal Sin: Carnal sin is sin of the flesh or sin in the flesh. This is the type of sin we are born into this world – man is born into this world of a corruptible seed. However, the born again man is now born anew of an incorruptible seed, born of the Word and of Jesus Christ – literally born of God. Although even the born again Christian might still sin because of his flesh (mindset), he has an Advocate with the Father. This Advocate is the Holy Spirit. Those who aren’t born again does not have this Advocate, because they haven’t received the Holy Spirit yet. However, the Word of God admonish us not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Rom.12:2). The more we get a hold of the Word of God, the less we would want to follow the ways of this world; of the flesh. So what happens when a born again Christian sin? Well, the Word of God tells us to be quick to repent and ask for forgiveness; and when we ask we will receive. God’s Word is very plain and simple, God will forgive you – all it takes is to confess your sin to the Father and know that the Father sticks to His Word – you are forgiven! Does this mean we can continue to sin because Father will keep on forgiving us? Surely not! What this means, is that if we end up sinning, we do have an Advocate Who will plead our case before God; and because God so love us, He said He will forgive us. We were born free, born of God and God wants to keep us free – clean from sin – therefore God will forgive us, because of His great love for us. God knows that no man is perfect, therefore He gives us His Word. When we study the Word, we will become less of ourselves and more of Him. As God’s Word finds entrance, we will be transformed into what the Word speaks of us – but the key is, the Word must find entrance. How does the Word find entrance? Joshua 1:8 ‘through us meditating on the Word day and night.’ This doesn’t literally mean that we must sit with an open Bible 24/7, but be sure to open your Bible every day as often as you can. That verses you read, keep on thinking on those lines through out the day – that meditating on the Word of God. Share it with others, let it be part of your prayer, and let it run through your mind! Sin Consciousness: Simply put, sin consciousness is the act of not forgiving yourself even though God had forgiven you. Now sin is sin; but somehow sin consciousness is worse for the individual, because it hurts the one who is sin conscious. Have you ever done something wrong, asked God for forgiveness and a few hours later or even a day later you thinking about what you have done wrong? Yes! That is called sin consciousness. It is important to understand that when we ask God for forgiveness, it is not simply God saying ‘I forgive you My child’ – no – it is God erasing that which you have done wrong. Yes! God takes it out of ever happening! But what happens when we are sin conscious? We actually write our sin back in the book of records! Even God had erased our short comings, by us beating ourselves up for pass sins only shows that we don’t believe God had forgiven us. We have to take God by His Word; for this is showing faith and is pleasing unto God (Heb.11:6). Man’s forgiveness can be sincere, however it is temporal – but when God forgives it is eternally erased from existence. Every sin after that is treated as new and the old is never brought back, because to God it no longer exist; in fact, it never happened to start with. All we need to do is ask for forgiveness and receive forgiveness – also forgiving others who wrong against us as God forgives us. Un forgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person will die. Always remain free through being quick to ask for forgiveness and also be quick to forgive others. Un forgiveness leads to bitterness and bitterness is the root of cancer. Blasphemy Against The Holy Spirit: To speak against the Holy Spirit is forbidden – there is no condition to it – it is fixed and period. That’s why you may wonder why certain people will just not turn to God even after seeing some real amazing miracles – in some cases it is because they have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will never lead you to minister about Him to staunch non-believers. He will lead you to minister salvation through Jesus and speak about Father God. The reason is that there is one sin which will not and cannot be forgiven – that is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has such sincere and deep love even towards unbelievers, that He will not make mention of Himself to avoid anyone to blasphemy against Him; that is until they are ready to hear of Him. The biggest hypocrites in this world sits in the church. When Jesus rebuked the hypocrites, it was those who attended the synagogues, not the ordinary gentile. Being a ‘born again Christian’ who sits and blasphemy against other born again Christian is actually blaspheming against the Holy Spirit, for the Holy Spirit becomes one with whosoever that believes in Jesus and has confessed and accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior of their souls. People who blasphemy against Spirit filled children of God is not born of God and has not the Holy Spirit in them, neither has the Truth. If you have the Holy Spirit in you, He will forbid you to blaspheming against another born again Christian, because the Holy Spirit lives in each born again child of God and will not cause you to speak against Himself. Therefore, the Bible tells us not to judge anyone, for it is not up to us to judge, only God knows the heart of man – no man knows the heart of another man. Judging others is a highly contagious disease; if you judge others, they will judge you – therefore, live a life free of blame and even when people judge you although you didn’t pass judgment, you will remain having right standing with God. Having right standing with God is all that matters, because no man can help you get to heaven, only the Holy Spirit can do that after you have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior of your soul.
