Question:

I’ve been feeling very down recently, realizing that I had committed blasphemy against the Holy Spirit a couple months ago, not repenting my sins that are so hard to quit, like swearing, for example. Will he still forgive my sins against him but NOT the Holy Spirit? Does he still love me? 


Answer:

I know for a fact that you have not committed the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, because if you had, you would not be writing this question. Anyone who has committed this sin, does not worry about it at all, in fact they have written off anything to do with God. So you are safe. I have told you this before, but you obviously do not believe what I say, so here it is again. There is no sin that God cannot forgive. He knows that we are sinners, and that we will sometimes do dumb and even horrible things. But He has said that His followers should forgive up to 490 times, so that means that there is no limit to His own forgiveness. From the passages below, it is plain that God wants to forgive us, His forgiveness is unlimited, and that all sins and blasphemy will be forgiven, except the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which we will look at below.

John 3:17   For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

Matthew 18     21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?

22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.”

1 John 1:9   If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Matthew 12:31   “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.”

The only sin that is unpardonable, is the sin against the Holy Spirit (see text above), which is not what people think. The Holy Spirit is the One who convicts us of sin, as shown in the passage below, by Him speaking to us through our conscience. But if we continually resist Him, block Him out because we do not want to give up that sin, in the end we will not hear His voice anymore, and we will never ask to be forgiven for that sin. And the only sin that cannot be forgiven, is the one we don’t ask forgiveness for. So, the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, is that we ignore His pleas, and eventually we are not forgiven, because we did not ask.

John 16     “Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin … “

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
