Let me know what you think!

Do you wonder if you’ve committed the unpardonable sin?

Do you think you’ve gone too far for God to forgive you?

Today I share three truths that will assure you how God’s love “covers a multitude of sin.”

Yours and mine.

For years I wondered… “Have I committed a sin God won’t forgive?”

The first truth I learned is that shame is a lie. Shame deceived me into thinking I thought I had committed the unforgivable or unpardonable sin. It is God’s “love (that) covers a multitude of sins,” (I Peter 4:8), I received Jesus as my Savior.

This is the second truth - assurance that I hadn’t committed the unforgivable sin. In Christ, it is a brand new, fresh life, and an abundant existence that is resurrected. “ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

The third truth is to define what is the unpardonable/unforgivable sin or “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit." Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter,” (Mark 3:28) but one exception: “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin” (verse 29).[i]

The only unpardonable sin today is unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who rejects Jesus Christ as savior and Lord. Like me, many people are afraid they have committed some sin that God cannot or will not forgive. Jesus says “he is able to save completely those who come to God through him” (Hebrews 7:25).

First, shame is a lie – deceiving us - I thought I had committed an unforgivable sin. God didn’t see my shame, he saw my worth. 2 Corinthians 10:4, “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of this world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”

Second, God assured me that I hadn’t committed the unforgivable or unpardonable sin. In Christ, we have a brand new, fresh life. 2 Cor. 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

The third point - what is the definition of the unpardonable/unforgivable sin or “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit." The only unpardonable sin today is that of unbelief. Heb. 11:6 says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God” and the object of faith is Jesus . [i] https://www.gotquestions.org/unpardonable-sin.html
