MATTHEW 12.31-32
BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE SPIRIT WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN
One of the glories of the Christian faith is the emphasis that the Bible puts on the wideness of God’s forgiveness. It is open for every man to receive. But the mercy of God has a limit. There is a kind of sin that cannot be forgiven. It is called by Jesus, ‘The blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.’ For this, there is no forgiveness. Let’s read the Lord’s teaching on this subject.
Matthew 12.31. Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come.
