All sins shall be forgiven, except the sin against the Holy Ghost; for Jesus will save all except the sons of perdition. What must a man do to commit the unpardonable sin? He must receive the Holy Ghost, have the heavens opened unto him, and know God, and then sin against him.
Rev. Graham: Only one sin that can't be forgiven is on God's list — and that is the sin of rejecting Him and refusing His offer of forgiveness and new life in Jesus Christ. This alone is the unforgivable sin, because it means we are saying that the Holy Spirit's witness about Jesus is a lie (see Luke 12:10).
A: There are many sins recounted in the Hebrew Bible but none are ever called unforgivable sins.
Pride (superbia), also known as hubris (from Ancient Greek ὕβρις) or futility. It is considered the original and worst of the seven deadly sins on almost every list, the most demonic. It is also thought to be the source of the other capital sins. Pride is the opposite of humility.
In Mark 3:29 Jesus says that “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” Matthew's account adds that even blasphemy against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but not blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31–32).
We are forgiven as we accept the mercy offered by Jesus Christ. It is in this way that our natures can be changed. In ancient times, the rituals and sacrifices of the law of Moses pointed the Israelites to the Savior's Atonement.
God stands ready to forgive any sin through his Son, Jesus Christ, who died for you. That's the promise. But if you go on refusing this Christ there is no other way in which you can be forgiven.
There are two things to remember here: (1) God's mercy is indeed infinite, and (2) true repentance means forsaking your sins. On the one hand, because of the infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ, repentance is available to everyone, even those who have made the same mistakes many times.
God's forgiveness and love are unconditional. He loved us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8) and we cannot earn His love by our good works. We are forgiven based on the perfect work of Jesus Christ. God does, however, require repentance in order to grant forgiveness.
Yes, God forgives and relents from punishment for those who truly love God, but there are also times and situations where there may be no turning back. Repentance can come too late after too much damage is done and there is no going back.
All Sin is not the Same
Scripture clearly indicates that God does view sin differently and that He proscribed a different punishment for sin depending upon its severity. While God does see sin differently we now have Jesus to forgive us of our sin.
Seventy-seven times. That's how many times the Bible tells us we should forgive someone. Matthew 18: 21-22 21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
Jesus said, “Seventy times seven.” In other words, there is no limit to his forgiveness, and there should be no limit to ours.
You may have felt like your sins are too serious or that you have made the same mistake too many times. But no matter how much we have sinned, we can always repent and be forgiven. Some sins may be easier to correct than others, but Jesus Christ has provided for total forgiveness from all sins.
Forgiving others does not mean condoning that behavior, encouraging that behavior, or just letting someone off the hook. Forgiveness means acknowledging what has happened but not allowing yourself to hold onto a grudge, which may cause you immeasurable physical and emotional pain.
Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive them” (Luke 17:3-4). The Lord does not tell us to condone the sin, but rather to rebuke it. If the individual chooses to repent, we should forgive them — even if they sin against us many times.
When you truly desire to repent, it can be frustrating if you slip up again. But because of the infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ, God's mercy and grace are infinite, and you can still repent and be worthy.
He washes away our guilt and cleanses us from our sin (Ps. 51:2; Isa. 1:18; 1 John 1:9). Sin leaves a mark or a stain only God can wipe away.
Day 1 – Read Daniel 9:9God will forgive you no matter what you have done. He knows what you have done wrong, and Jesus has provided a way for you to be forgiven of your sins. God will not only forgive, but He will forget.
Even though Jesus never had to apologize for any wrong he committed, he lived all of the personal humility and self-sacrifice apologizing requires of us.
God's Forgiveness Reaches Up to Where We Are
The Bible says that a man should beware when he thinks he is standing, because a fall is imminent (1 Corinthians 10:12).
Both Christianity and Judaism see sin as a deliberate violation of the will of God and as being attributable to human pride, self-centredness, and disobedience.
They held that both the Bible and Christian tradition taught that alcohol is a gift from God that makes life more joyous, but that over-indulgence leading to drunkenness is sinful.
After all, we do find the words “forgive them” coming out of Jesus' mouth. But in both of our examples from Luke, Jesus says, “Your sins [plural] are forgiven.” In other words, “All of your sins are forgiven.” Faith brings us near to Christ and he forgives all of our sins, not just some.
Jesus has the authority to forgive every sin and every blasphemy. “It was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission (forgiveness) of sins should be preached in His name to all nations.” Luke 24:46-47.
