Unpardonable Sin:To "Reject" Or "Neglect" Christ As Your Savior

Common Sense Commentary:  "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come." Matt.12:31-32.

Is there an unpardonable sin? Yes, just one ..... "To die without accepting Christ as your Savior." To reject  GOD and His Son Jesus Christ, whom you know is True, but accept the LIE you 
know is FALSE, is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit of God who bore witness to your soul of the truth of God and Christ... and you knew it, but rejected and spoke against it.  You don't have to commit blasphemy against the Holy Spirit to reject Christ, and to die lost, and go to hell. You may simply neglect to accept Christ as your Savior. Not to accept Christ as your Savior is the unpardonable sin whether you outright reject ...unto death, or neglect to accept Him.

The book of The Revelation tells us that after the Rapture of true believers, during the Great Tribulation Period on earth, the lost and "left behind" will still not look to God for salvation, except for the 144,000 Jews (Zec12:10).  Those Jews are "sealed to survive" and repopulate the earth  during the Millennial Kingdom (Rev.7:3-8).  But the Beast and his "Kingdom of Darkness" will 
"blaspheme the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores, and repent not of their deeds." Rev.16:11.  They would not "blaspheme the God of heaven" unless the Spirit of God had convinced them, in their hearts, that He is God, and they knew He was God , as did Lucifer, but cursed Him anyway. Jm.2:19-20.   As, also, human beings can do .... "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;  for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." Rom. 1:18-21.


The line between light and darkness is clearly defined in God's Word.  It is a line of CHOICE , a line of personal decision, a line of destiny.  From birth you stand upon that line until the hour of decision. "If it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, CHOOSE you this day whom ye will serve ...." Josh.24:15.  It is yours to CHOOSE which way you will live your life, which side you prefer ... God or the gods of this world.  Once your decision is firmly made and you step to the right into the light or the opposit into darkness your CHOICE is beyond return. "To whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are ..." Rom.6:16.   If you CHOOSE light, you CHOOSE Jesus and reject "the powers of darkness".  If you CHOOSE darkness and its pleasures, you reject Him who said,  "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness. but shall have the light of life." Jn.8:12.   That line of eternal CHOICE divides "the narrow way which leads unto life" from "the broad way which leads to destruction." Mt.7:13-14.

Once you truly respond to the Holy Spirit's urging, conviction, convincing you of your need for Jesus, and you commit your life to Christ, you are "sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is the (guarantee)...." Eph.1:13-14.  Therefore, let us "... grieve not the holy Spirit of  God, whereby we are sealed unto the day of redemption." Eph.4:30. 

The opposite is also true.  Once you "wilfully"  reject the Holy Spirit's urging, conviction, and convincing you of your need of forgiveness of sin through faith in Christ, if you know it is God's Spirit dealing with you but reject the Spirit's urging willfully choose darkness instead, your destiny is also sealed.  That is the "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit." Mk.3:28-29.   You may not know for sure if Jesus is "the only begotten Son of God" and still be saved later when you do believe.  But when the Holy Spirit convinces your soul  that Jesus is the Saviour, the Son of God, but you still reject him and turn to speak against Him, and serve darkness.... that is the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but" whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven ...." Mt.12:31. This is what Jesus calls "Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost" in Matt.12:31-32. The Apostle Paul tells us such people are "Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron." 1 Tim.4:2.  A "hypocrit" is someone who knows better...knows he is lying, but speaks against it anyway because his "conscience is seared with a hot iron" ... no conviction, no feeling, no repentance. Unpardonable.

Anyone who truly believes and wants to be saved, has not reached that point yet.  If the Holy Spirit is still dealing with you, there is still hope. God would not stay after you if you could not be saved.  "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy who hath trodden under foot the Son of God ... and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?" Heb.10:29. These make God their enemy and Satan their friend and have crossed that line into the Kingdom of Darkness and cannot return.   To reject the truth you know is right and embrace the lie you know is wrong  IS to
"trample under foot the Son of God and spites the Spirit of grace ." That is Unpardonable! "...it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come." Matt.12:31-32.


Such people do it unto themselves ... their CHOICE.  "Who being past feeling havegiven themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness and greediness." Eph.4:19. Unpardonable Sin!

It is our CHOICE.  "But after thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up unto thyself  wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgement of God." Rom.2:5. 
Unpardonable!

These do not want God to change their lives. "Their eyes have they closed lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and ... be converted."  Acts 28:27. The message here is, that if they had not closed their minds to Christ, they might still have been saved.

This is the Unpardonable Sin.  "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven men." Mt.12:31.

"Repent ye therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out."  Acts 3:19.  If your sins are not blotted out, your name will be.  Rev.3:5.
