Unforgivable "but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" ~ Mark 3:29 Someone who has never encountered Christ's divine power and presence may reject Him out of ignorance and can be forgiven if they truly repent. Even a Pharisee like Saul of Tarsus could be forgiven for speaking against Jesus or persecuting His followers, as his disbelief was due to ignorance (1 Timothy 1:13). However, those who understand His true claims and still choose to reject Him commit a sin "against the Holy Spirit," since it is the Holy Spirit that reveals Christ and His truth to us (John 15:26; John 16:14-15). There is no forgiveness for those Pharisees who see His miracles, know the truth, and still blaspheme the Holy Spirit, as they have turned away from the clearest revelation possible. If someone intentionally and disrespectfully speaks against the Holy Spirit and denies the lordship and salvation of Jesus Christ, they lose the chance for forgiveness. This is because they have completely turned away from the only way to receive God's salvation, which is through Jesus Christ. https://know-the-bible.com/february-18/ #BibleStudy #DEVOTIONAL
