The Unforgivable Sin

Have you worried that you committed a sin God cannot forgive? Do not worry! Jesus talked about this when the teachers of the law said "He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons!" (Mark 3:22) This is the unforgivable sin. These men gave Beelzebub (Satan) credit for something the Holy Spirit did--the healing and miracles performed through Jesus. 

Jesus said to them, "How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand." You and I know that Satan is at work today. He works against God in our hearts by tempting us to do things God doesn't want us to do. His kingdom is not divided, and God's kingdom is not divided. We have a choice to follow God or not.

Jesus said, "All the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin" (Mark 3:28-29).


Think About It
To commit the unforgivable sin is a problem of the heart AND the heart of the problem. A hard heart set against God will deny His power. A person that lives his life with this heart problem is at the point of no return. If you love God, you do not have to worry about committing the sin He cannot forgive. Be encouraged.


Pray About It
