“Eternal Sin”

“Eternal Sin”

Blessings folk!

Jesus had confronted the scribes about their accusation.
They stated that Jesus’ power came from Beelzebul, ruler of demons.

Jesus spoke to them about kingdoms divided.
They would fall.

Jesus then told them about the strongman…

Mar 3:27
“But no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

This context is important, especially in light of what Jesus says next.
A passage that is oft discussed…
A passage that is oft interpreted/applied incorrectly because people do not learn the context…
A passage that is sobering…

Mar 3:28-30

“Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men,
and whatever blasphemies they utter;

but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness,
but is guilty of an eternal sin”—

because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Ah, the ole “Unpardonable Sin”…
Has caused great confusion within the Body…

What is “eternal sin”?

The last verse gives the answer.

They were attributing the good works of the Spirit through Jesus to an unclean spirit/demon.
They were saying that satan was doing what was a work of God.

They blasphemed the Holy Spirit.

Often people will think they have committed such a sin and state that the are not able to be saved.

I do not believe such to be true.

If one is convicted…
If one desires to confess and repent unto salvation…
Then, that is a move of the Holy Spirit.
One can not determine of one’s own flesh and volition “to be saved”.
It is a work of the Holy Spirit.

If one blasphemes against the Holy Spirit…resist, rejects…then that one will never be saved.
Thereby, dying in their eternal sin.

The truth is in the context of the scribes accusing Jesus of demonic possession.

Attribute not to satan that which the Lord is doing.
