The Unpardonable Sin
by Pastor Ricky Kurth
“…All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto
men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto
men… neither in this world, neither in the world to come” (Matthew
12:31,32).
As a pastor, I often hear from people who are afraid they’ve
committed the unpardonable sin. They cite these verses, and then proceed to
tell me what they said or did that has caused them to believe they blasphemed
the Spirit.
When this happens, I remind these dear troubled souls that before
he was saved the Apostle Paul was “a ” (I Timothy 1:13), and it
was unquestionably the Spirit whom he blasphemed. As a Jew who followed the Law
of Moses scrupulously (Romans Philippians 3:6), he would not have
blasphemed God the Father, and there is no concrete evidence that he ever even met
God the Son. It wasn’t until the twelve were “filled with the Holy Spirit”
(Acts 2:4) that Saul showed up and led the blasphemous persecution against them
(Acts 7:57—8:3).
So when the Lord said that those who blasphemed the Spirit
couldn’t be forgiven “neither in this world, neither in the world to come,” we
have to conclude that with the saving of Saul, God introduced a whole new
world. A world called “the dispensation of the grace of God”
(Ephesians 3:2). A world in which grace reigns:
“That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign
through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans
5:21).
How thoroughly does
grace reign? Notice Paul says grace reigns unto life as sin reigned unto
death. And sin reigned unto death with absolute sway over men. The
prophet declared, “The soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezekiel 18:4),
and there have never been any exceptions! So when Paul says “that as sin
hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign” to eternal life, you
have to conclude that “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved” (Romans 10:13), with no exceptions. This is because
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord is “made the righteousness of
God in Him” (II Corinthians 5:21), allowing grace to reign “through righteousness
unto eternal life” (Romans 5:21).
So if you are among the many who have agonized over the
Lord’s words in Matthew 12:31,32, agonize no more. No matter who you
are, no matter what you’ve said or done, you cannot commit a sin that God’s
grace cannot forgive. You have His Word on it.
