Chapter 8 The Unpardonable Sin: An Introduction If one subject has brought fear to a multitude of hearts, it is the unpardonable sin. Many lie awake at night troubled and sincerely perplexed, wondering if they have committed that sin. Because they do not understand what constitutes the unpardonable sin, they fear that perhaps any and every error, mistake, or act of presumption could constitute the sin which no one wants to commit. Interpreting the unpardonable sin in the light of the law, rather than the light of the gospel, has led some to unwarranted conclusions about the nature of this sin. Indeed, there is a sin which is unpardonable--a sin which Jesus said "shall not be forgiven, ... neither in this world, neither in the world to come" (Matthew 12:32). Can this be the key to explaining why many will be lost, in spite of the sacrifice of Christ? Several Scriptural passages mention the unpardonable sin. Matthew chapter 12, Mark chapter 3, and Luke chapter 12 are among them. The unpardonable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. That much is clear. What does it mean to blaspheme the Holy Spirit? Why is this sin "unpardonable?" How does this sin relate to the good news of the gospel: "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:3)? Toward answering these questions, let us examine the official work of the Holy Spirit. In John chapter 16 Jesus described the work of the Comforter. "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you" (John 16:7). If one pauses to consider them, one realizes that these are rather strange expressions. Why did Jesus say, "If I go not away, the Comforter will not come"? Was not the Spirit already here? Many passages tell us that He was already here (see Matthew 3:16, Matthew 54
