ETERNAL SECURITY - THE UNPARDONABLE SIN

Psalm 103:1-22 [A Psalm of David.] Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; who forgives all your iniquities …

1John 1:1-10 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of Life, (for the Life was revealed, and we have seen it and bear witness, and show to you the everlasting Life, who was with the Father and was revealed to us), that which we have seen and heard we declare unto you, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And we write these things to you so that your joy may be full. And this is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

  Undeniably we all sin. Sin is rejecting and transgressing the law of God; therein contrary to believing and following Him. (1Jn.3:4)

  When we confess our sin, God forgives as no other. There is however an unpardonable sin. (Mt.12:22-32; Mk.3:22-30)

  A major problem with the topic of unpardonable sin is anxiety; anxiously wondering “Have I committed the unpardonable sin?”

  Remember, it is Satan that wants men, women, and children to live in fear, not in God’s rest. (Search “rest” in Hebrews, read in context and contemplate. 1Jn.4:15-18)

  As ever, anxiety is the result of our action or lack thereof; sinning and lack of agreeing with God (confession).

  My observation is fear of having committed the unpardonable sin primarily results from 2Timothy 2:15-16 laziness that leaves God’s child living in ignorant angst. The result of knowing less than the whole truth of God’s graciousness.

  In reading the account in Matthew 12:22-32 and Mark 3:22-30 we see the Pharisees undeniably witnessing Jesus doing miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit, yet saying that He did so as one possessed of “Beelzebub, the prince of devils.” Satan. This was no more than what the Pharisees had been manifesting: their rejecting Him.

  Jesus was quite specific in how they sinned, committing “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.”

  When is the last time you credited the works of Jesus to Satan? Ever? Never? I thought not.

  There is however an unpardonable sin, unchanged since Adam’s transgression bringing death to the world. Rejecting Jesus as personal redeeming Savior is never pardoned now or later; the sin that leaves one a John 3:18 lost being. Please be not as those priests rejecting Jesus as Savior. EBB4
