The Sin God Cannot Forgive
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be
forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be
forgiven unto men. Matt. 12:31.
"The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin" (1 John
1:7). No matter how sinful a person has been, no matter what his position
may be, if he will repent and believe, coming unto Christ and trusting Him
as his personal Saviour, he may be saved unto the uttermost. . . .
I know the danger of those who refuse to walk in the light as God gives
it. They bring upon themselves the terrible crisis of being left to follow
their own ways, to do after their own judgment. The conscience becomes less
and less impressible. The voice of God seems to become more and more
distant, and the wrongdoer is left to his own infatuation. In stubbornness
he resists every appeal, despises all counsel and advice, and turns from
every provision made for his salvation. . . . The Spirit of God no longer
exerts a restraining power over him, and the sentence is passed, "He is
joined to idols; let him alone" (see Hosea 4:17). . . . This is the process
through which the soul passes that rejects the working of the Holy Spirit. .
. .
No one need look upon the sin against the Holy Ghost as something
mysterious and indefinable. The sin against the Holy Ghost is the sin of
persistent refusal to respond to the invitation to repent. If you refuse to
believe in Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. . . , you love the
atmosphere that surrounded the first great apostate. You choose this
atmosphere rather than the atmosphere that surrounds the Father and the Son,
and God allows you to have your choice. But let no soul be discouraged by
this presentation of the matter. Let no one who is striving to do the will
of the Master be cast down.
Come with your whole heart to Jesus. Repent of your sins, make
confession to God, forsake all iniquity, and you may appropriate to yourself
all His promises. "Look unto me, and be ye saved" (Isa. 45:22) is His
gracious invitation.
