1 | Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. | Matt 12:23 | Hank | 44284 | ||
Tones180: Primary Scripture reference: Matthew 12:31-38. The King James Study Bible (Nelson) offers various notes regarding sins against the Holy Spirit, from which the following is extracted: All sin is serious and to some degree challenges and attacks the character and authority of God. But six sins are specifically identified as sins against the Holy Spirit. Since the Holy Spirit is a person, He may be sinned against. Since He is also God, it is an extremely serious matter to be guilty of sinning against Him. These six sins are [1] blaspheming (Matt. 12:31,32) [2] lying or tempting (Acts 5:4,9) [3] despising (Heb.10:29) [4] resisting or striving with (Gen.6:3, Acts 7:51) [5] vexing or grieving (Isaiah 63:10, Eph.4:30 [6] quenching (1 Thess.5:19.... The blasphemy against the Holy Spirit that Jesus describes with great severity in Matt.12:31-38 is deliberate rejection of Christ, His Spirit-wrought miracles and His salvation. It is the ultimate sin that by its very nature puts one beyond the opportunity of salvation. The Holy Spirit brings the offer of salvation to the heart of man. To reject Him is to act presumptuously and thus to blaspheme God. Those who reject His offer are in reality blaspheming the very nature of God Himself and the genuineness of His grace. Some people fear that they may have committed the unpardonable sin, but one of the characteristics of such a sin is that the Holy Spirit ceases to convict of sin in one's life -- so the fact that someone may be concerned about a particular sin indicates he is not beyond grace. He should immediately repent of that sin to restore fellowship with God. --Hank | ||||||
