Unforgivable
I tell you the truth. All sins that people do can be
forgiven. And all the bad things people say against God can
be forgiven. But any person that says bad things against
(refuses to accept) the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven.
He will always be guilty of that sin." Jesus said this
because the teachers of the law said that Jesus had an evil
spirit (devil) inside him.
-- Mark 3:28-30 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
So many people have shared a concern that they may be guilty of this
sin. Take heart, dear friend, and let Jesus' word come to you clearly.
The sin is to keep saying that what Jesus did was done by an evil
spirit or a demon rather than by the Spirit of God. Even if you may
have assigned Jesus' works to something evil at one time in your life,
you are not doing so now. You are not guilty. Look on the positive side
of this command. If you want to see what the Spirit of God does in a
human being when the Holy Spirit takes control, look at Jesus! What
Jesus does in his daily life is a demonstration of God's will empowered
by the Holy Spirit.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father in heaven, I recognize that the greatest gift given to me was my
salvation by Jesus demonstrated through the forgiveness of my sins and
through the gift your Son gave me in the Holy Spirit. Please help the
Spirit's fruit to be seen in my life as your Spirit conforms me to be
more and more like your Son. In Jesus' name. Amen.
