"Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” Mark 3:28-29 New International Version (NIV)
Often time, the quest to survive, to get rich and to live a comfortable life has made us commit some unthinkable acts, right on the Blockchain people all over the World lie and commit theft, swindling people of their resources and so on.
This a non-techy blog nor a Blockchain Technology Mumbo Jumbo, it is an eye-opener to sins that could condemn us even while still living here on Earth, it would be an unpalatable experience to suffer wars and outbreaks, sickness and sadness while alive and yet experience more gruesome ones after death.
Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony. Wrath and Slothfulness are the Seven Cardinal sins, and they are forgivable, but grieving the Holy Spirit; The Sin of Blasphemy is an automatic Eternal Damnation.
Our God is merciful, slow to anger and a consuming fire at the same time, but in his infinite mercies; men and women have committed slander against him and yet he sent us his only son Christ Jesus to die so that whosoever believeth in him will have everlasting life and not perish (John 3:16). On this basis, many had questioned why sinning against the Holy Spirit is not covered by Jesus Christ's saving grace from his Death on the Cross of Calvary. It is a mystery to us human, but God is a supreme and mysterious Being.
In a Nutshell, any sin that a man or woman doesn't want to give up, confess to and ask for forgiveness is unforgivable. Any Sin that makes the Holy spirit sad, bad things that a person holds on to and incessantly resisting the convicting power of the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness"- 1 John 1:19
TAKING A SAMPLE OF OUR LIVES
Do you have any sin that you cling unto? Anger, Maliciousness, Drug and Alcohol addiction, Pornography, Slander, Conspiracy, Falsehood, Fornication, Scamming and so many more, do you hear the Holy Spirit calling you to halt so that Jesus Christ could spend time in your heart?
"Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst."- 1 Timothy 1:13-15 (NIV)
To not sin against the Holy Spirit, learn to be kind to others, be generous, be tenderhearted and don't keep malice and above all forgive all that have offended you, then be a lover of God.
"Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you"- Ephesians 4:32 Amplified Bible (AMP)
