What Is The Unforgivable Sin Explained (With Greg Laurie)
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 03. 2021
- From time to time, I am asked about the meaning of “the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit,” because Jesus said it was an unpardonable sin. He said, “Every sin or blasphemy can be forgiven-except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which can never be forgiven” (Matthew 12:31).
When God is trying to bring a person to faith and he or she says no, that is resisting the Holy Spirit. This is a sin that only an unbeliever could commit. The work of the Spirit, as Jesus said, is to “convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8). And when someone refuses to accept Christ, they are denying the very mission of the Holy Spirit when they say they don’t need salvation, when they say, “Not only am I saying no to this, but I am saying that I don’t care if Jesus died. And if He did die, then His death was a waste. I don’t care if He shed His blood. It means nothing to me.”
That insults the Holy Spirit, because the Bible says, “Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?” (Hebrews 10:29).
Therefore, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is when unbelievers say no to the Spirit’s work of showing them their need for Jesus and bringing them to faith. By resisting and turning their back on God’s gracious offer of forgiveness, they can ultimately insult-and even blaspheme-the Holy Spirit and go beyond a point of no return. To resist the Holy Spirit’s appeal is to insult God and to effectively cut off all hope of salvation.

Why does Jesus say you can speak against the son of man and be forgiven, but those speak against the holy spirit will never have forgiveness?
Another converted pharisee was Saul of Tarsus, who became the great apostle, Paul - the LORD Jesus changed his name as a metaphor to his conversion!
Pastor Greg might you clarify something for me? The Bible definitely speaks about dealing with the devil and seducing spirits and warns of the nefariousness of the transaction... also Jesus himself was an example of the devil attempting a transaction of this type when our Lord tread the wilderness and Satan Took him to the highest point and offered him the world and all the material things within in exchange for or Lord testing our Father this is indeed the grandest business transaction ever attempted
The unforgivable sin is seeing the holy ghost manifesting the same works that jesus christ did through the born again believers and attributing them or calling them of the devil....
Like when they said bro William branham discerning the secrets of the heart was an evil spirit....those people destroyed themselves for saying that
I ❤️ your videos!! You have a great way of presenting God's word that's so easy to understand. Keep them coming. Thank you 😊

I'm 15 and a young Christian. Im absolutely terrified I committed the unforgivable sin. I suffer from these terrible thoughts saying mean things about the Lord, the Holy Spirit or Jesus. When I'm having a mind attack, I tend to whisper Good things for example "Jesus is good" or the "Holy Spirit is good" but sometimes I dont know if I accidentally get my words mixed up and say the bad thoughts. I get so much anxiety from it, I cry, my body shakes and I immediately Pray and Repent. I'm just so scared. I've gotten so much anxiety from this. This is probably the most scariest tying I've felt. I've prayed to God to take the thoughts away, I know I need to trust Him but it's so hard at times, I know I sound like a terrible person for saying that but I mean I always worry aswell my heart isn't soft enough or that I'm not forgiven. Please if someone could reach out it would dearly help me.
@@briannavlopez Look at David Diga Hernandez video on that topic he explains it perfectly
Someone once said, if you are worried that you have committed the unpardonable sin, then you probably have not committed the sin. You have to have knowingly commit this sin.
Where does it say that in the bible?
@@James-yi1vk There are lots of things that are not explicitly stated in scripture, James you have to know that, now I understand that a person has to knowingly blaspheme the Holy Spirit. And not care.
Unless Jesus said so, it's NOT true.
Repeating what "someone" said as fact is also dangerous. Tread carefully. Only repeat exact words of Jesus as fact. Then you know you speak only truth
@@Reginalw how do you know what the exact words of Jesus wwew?

Advice: Thoughts out of nowhere? First remove bad language from daily usage, read the bible and meditate about what you read in it but before that, pray for revelation, speak only good things when bad thoughts appear, always remember what you have learned about God and the bible, and pray daily. The fear of God is key, the 1st commandment is key, Love the Lord with all you soul, heart, and mind.
I understand you sister I deal with the same thing and I’m 25 but it is just trusting God with everything I know it is difficult and you feel like you have no forgiveness but you do. Remember that we are not saved because we are good or because we are bad we are saved because of the grace of God! Now it will take a lot of time and work to learn to master yourself. Remember that God gave us a spirit of courage, love , and self discipline. Not of fear. To me you are fearful woman of God and you fear God and remember that fearing God doesn’t mean to be scared of him it means to respect him. So it is good that you acknowledge your sin and that is what God wants. Fearing God is not doing what is wrong and yet we still do wrong. Again it doesn’t mean to go out and do whatever you want but by fearing God you will do your best to ignore or avoid the bad desires. Be strong and do not be afraid. God knows your heart even when you do not know yourself. But read the Bible and pray not 24/7 but give God first place and remember that even when we are unfaithful he is still faithful because he is not human like us . God bless you sister and stay strong 💪
I have been where you are , and I worked up the courage to ask a trusted pastor about it. His reply? "The fact that you are worried about it is proof that you haven't". A favorite trick of the enemy is to whisper things into our mind to distract us from Jesus, and especially from praying. Its cruel, and the enemy only does it to torment us. God still loves us though the pain of such attacks, dear one...and always will. We will not be snatched from His hand. Jesus promised us peace, and THAT is the truth...and a very effective weapon we can use. Always quote scripture when these things happen- "Resist the devil and he will flee from you" is one of my own favorites for when such thoughts come slithering in. God bless and keep you- its going to be alright.
You're going to be fine, dear.
I'm 55 and spent over 25 years in fear of having blasphemed the Holy Spirit. I've finally listened to numerous ministers and found that I haven't even come close to it and, from what you've described, you haven't either sweetheart.
Just stay in the Word and keep praying to our Father and the Holy Spirit will guide you through this attack.
The unforgiveable sin is rejection of Christ. All others are atoned for. So, as a believer in Christ, that is behind you.
Thank you pastor Greg.
At my lowest God is my hope.
At my darkness God is my light.
At my weakest God is my strength, at my saddest God is my Comforter God has Saved me.
Blessing weekend all.🙏🙏🙏
Me too… Amen Amen 🙏🏼🕊❤️
Dear brothers and sisters will you please join me in Prayer for the people who do not know God...

Amen 🙏🏾❤️
Amen. Lord help us! Guide us. Touch everybody to turn good .
Turn AWAY FOREVER from wicked and evil
Lord, please save as many people as possible...Amen and Amen....
This message scared me and I asked my dad 'Have I doomed myself? Is everything I've done and am trying to do and plan to do for nothing ?'
And I was told that is EXACTLY what the accuser will want you to believe.
If you believe in God, accept Jesus and live in his word you are not unforgivable. The thought of you being unforgivable is EXACTLY what the devil wants you to believe. He WANTS you to say 'well, it doesn't matter because I've doomed myself '
That is simply not true. If you are concerned about this you have not done it ! Your heart is not hardened and you ARE forgivable. Have faith, and don't let this message scare you away from Christ. There's a time for fear but never a time for worry or doubt because you can give it to God and he will carry that for you so you don't have to
"Our God has a big eraser".... I love that one!

@@briannavlopezA lot of Christians have trouble with those blasphemous thoughts. Don't worry. It's normal. I've had trouble with them too. Satan is the one putting them in your head to try to get you discouraged and to worry. Don't listen to him. The fact that you are worried about it shows that you haven't committed it. A true Christian CANNOT commit it.
thank you pastor .i believe Jesus died for my sins on the cross and rose from the dead and repent of my sins and put m trust in Him......jim
What sin did you commit 2000 years ago?
@@harrysphincter6496 i wasnt here 2000 yrs ago
But God can never die as per the Bible and all major scriptures
@@WellnessGraphy what do u elieve Jesus Christ is God ,and that he died on the cross ???
He died for everyone
Thankyou pastor Greg, I feel while I rest I always have no energy. Everytime I try to listen something always interrupts me. I pray for healing and health for my family our precious animals. Thankyou king Jesus. Amen. 🙏🙏🙏
I have asked the Lord to forgive me of my sins. And I need prayers to help me.
Dorothy, you only need the will to seek knowledge of God. Pick up the bible and read His word asking Him for help. Seek out a His good promises and who it is He keeps them to. Seek knowledge of a God using His word not men. Men are failed beings. God promises His own spirit to those He has given His son. It just takes a sincere and earnest seeking to worship in spirit and in truth. He supplies us with everthing we need just as we can use it. None of us can find the narrow way so few find unless we are given God's spirit.
You don't need _prayers_ from others; YOU need to pray.
Pastor Greg, thank you for being obedient to our Lord Jesus, we are learning and growing spiritually by listening to your sermons, since it is inspired by the Holy Spirit! Regards in Jesus Christ. Gert & Grieta from Malaysia.
Thank you for the wonderful message brother! I am so grateful for God’s grace. My family and I are praying for you and your church.
Best sermon I’ve ever heard on this topic. Thank you.
Pastor Greg, Pastor Ron, and a few others on csn have been in my ear for 8yrs. Thank you guys and God bless y'all.

That’s why you’re my pastor for past several years. You make it easy to understand. Thank you. 👍❤️🙏
Amen I’m glad I found you!
Hey .. Pastor Greg , Moniee-Mon is listening thanks for the message God bless ya and everyone else 😇💞💝💝🙏
Thank you Pastor Greg Laurie foradressing "The Good News of Salvation" and the consequence of rejecting Jesus as your personal Saviour. I recognized your courage to speak about "The Book of Revelation" many years ago after being born again. I always look forward to your messages as the key end times preacher. Blessings.
Omgoodness! I don't know who these ppl are listening to...I often weep. I get powerful messages from you... God Bless you!
Amen Pastor! You have truly said a mouthful about rejecting Jesus and the Holy Spirit. God bless.
Went to harvest back in the late 80s Greg is still rocking it. Thanks Greg for all the work you have been continuing to do.
Thank u pastor Greg for continuing to share Gods word n love for humanity
Excellent message Gregg. Like the way you put sermons 2gethr🙏❤.
I really enjoy your preaching, you are so good at getting out the message. So glad you tell it like it is. Keep up the good word!!!
Thm good night too lol I hope mpl
So someone with a very hard heart can commit the unforgivable sin...this is a good sermon..thank you.
People always put down what they don't understand. The same from yesterday's to today. Thank you God that you never change, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Thank you Pastor Greg, never ever boring!
Just wanted to say thank you for these messages that are well timed and exactly when God sees I need to hear them. I've been struggling with entrenched sinful habits and have been earnestly praying for God to cleanse them from me and help me to not return to them. Please pray that I can finally overcome these and return to serving God fully.
God hears a sincere prayer. Don’t give up. Jesus never give up on you. Amen.
Amen
I would also seek help from other Christians. They can remind you that youre not alone, help hold you accountable, and love you through it all.
Make sure they're people you can trust, and they believe the Truth of Scripture
Thank you for this word.
This is the best explanation I've ever heard on this topic thank you pastor
Pastor Chuck spoke to me more than any Pastor in my life. It's different since he went to heaven. ❤His words changed my life. ❤Thank you for your love for Jesus and passing it on. ❤
As I understand it, Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the ultimate and complete rejection of Christ even though you know the truth. It's beyond doubt or unbelief.
Well said! Thank you!!
I feel like I was close to reaching that point of no return but this video helped a lot and answered questions I wasn’t even trying to find an answer for thanks so much this means a lot to me please keep making content like this
Brady, instead of listening to men pick up your bible early in the morning before you begin your day and with a heart seeking God, truly seek knowledge of Him. Seek to worship Him in spirit and in truth. If you are sincere He will give you everything you need, just as you can use it. He is not so far from anyone of us, it just takes a seeking sincere heart.

So Happy to see you Pastor! Go baby!!
Thank you Greg I am really enjoying you're preaching about ,Jesus ,you're sermons say it all,Thank you and ,GOD BLESS.see you in the clouds ☁🙏😀.
The "Point of no return" part of your message was outstanding the times I started hearing your messages at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. My dad's best friend smoked cigarretes and I had to drive him once to work to a town a couple hours away from where we were, and while driving, noticed he lit cigarretes one after the other one and was eager to tell him if he had considered giving up cigarrettes for good. Because they were not good for him.
He told me he had wrestled throughout his life quitting smoking and had recently decided to get support from a doctor to help him quit. Then told me his doctor made some tests and told him the damage to his lungs was such, if he quitted or not, it would not make that much difference for him. He had missed the "point of no return". Even if he quit his lungs would not restore. Sadly,
he died connected to an oxigen tank and his life dimmed. I thank the Lord for meeting him and think good of him. He went to a church and believe was placed in my life to clear that doubt I had. Thank you for what you do! Jesus is sweet and tender and good.
I just love your podcast! Before I ever had Utube, I used to listen to your radio show everytime I drove my car!
Thank you so much! 🙏♥️✌️
A Blessed Easter to you all! 🕊♥️🕊
In Jesus Name, Amen

Sincere thanks. ❤ 😊 A beautiful quote "The Words of my testimony is simply Grace, amazing Grace," ....... Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, our GOD Almighty's only begotten Son.
Thank you my friend,, keep telling the truth of Jesus Christ,,, I need wisdom, strength, more trust n a stronger Faith because this flesh is so hard to deal with... Please pray for me n my witness so I can do my best to share Jesus by mouth n my actions!! Thank you JESUS CHRIST for the blood u shed on Calvary for a worthless sinner like me....🙏🙏
Jesus shed his blood for everyone who sinned and now we have to bring people back to the Lord
❤️✨ Thank you Jesus 🙌🏾
It is a nice thing that the moderator does not judge others like those hard hearted Pharisees!
Absolutely love Pastor Greg and also the Jesus revolution movie! 🙏🙌
Jesus I trust in you ☦
God bless everyone.
I was told long ago that if you committed suicide or even tried to you committed the unpardonable sin. I didn't feel right about that. Thank you clearing it up for me
i was told that if one committed murder that would be unpardonable as well. Now we all know that isn't right either.
Amén God Bless 🙏🏻🤗🙌
Thank You Lord Jesus! Thank You!
36,000 feet is over 6 miles! Our sins are way out of our reach. He doesn't pile them up in our front yard. They are unseeable, unreachable.
The lord is my shepherd 🙏✝️ Amen
I can always grow and learn more about jesus christ
I desire to follow Jesus
I relocated from Kali to Texas, and one of my greatest regrets is leaving Harvest Christian Fellowship, but Greg and the ministry of Jesus Christ have been part of my Great Commission talk when I speak on my journey toward Heaven. Always remember sanctification, becoming like Christ. Harvest, I truly miss the Family.
❤
God NEVER changes.
GOD is so GOOD!
Faith in HIM pleases God.
Thankyou.
You are my favorite
Can I ask you to pray and agree with me and my husband that we can get our chicken farm sold and get another farm (to grow alfalfa hay) bought and get completely out of debt. We've actually found another farm and we've signed a contract on it but we're really needing a buyer for ours now. We've only had one offer on it and it was half of what we are needing in order to get out of debt and own our next farm. We also need the bank to go ahead and lend the money on the other farm. We're just really in a financial situation that only the Lord can help us with. Thank you for your prayers and your ministry. I love you and your family. Blessings
God parted the Red Sea.... RIGHT
I pray that God answers your need, that His will be done.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Really??I'm sorry for your situation, but really???
There r people out there suffering, hurting ..and you want us to pray for that?? God forgive me gor saying this .. but are you serious!!!?
A joke right??
Also we must forgive all who sinned against us
Praying for my granddaughters wedding, help them to see Jesus!
Yes and forevermore Amen.
For God so loved the world 🌎❤that He gave his only begotten Son so that Whosoever should believe on Him should not perish but Have everlasting life
Let's save the world 🌎together. Pray
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
John 6:37
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
@ValerieJean757 those verses that you just quoted are the reasons why I don't quite believe in an unforgivable sin.
And thank you for those verses.
I am living proof that's He Forgives us because of Our Saviour
I asked the Lord for forgiveness and confess and repent to God . Please pray that God give me strength to do His will
God"s word is true never want to insult him
Greg, your john lennon is in fire
💪🏾Powerful
I am very concerned especially about some very famous preachers who continually insult the work of the Holy Spirit by saying that most Charismatic Christians aren't really Christians. They totally deny the great modern movements of the Holy Spirit that have taken place from the Azusa movement on down the line. They stand in judgment like the Pharisees that Jesus confronted, puffed up with their knowledge of the scriptures but denying the power of God! If that is not blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, I don't know what is!
AMEN AMEN,, SALUDO DESDE LAS MONTAÑAS DE PANAMA
20:00 this segment is spectacular
thank you for explaining pastor greg i thought i commited it ive been triggering my anxiety for no reason thank you for explaining god bless you!!!!!
(god bless everyone who reads this)
God Bless to you too
@@Medicinepocky God bless you too. Don’t be scared anymore, trust me I went through the same thing. Right now I’m 15 and I was terrified to of committing the unforgivable sin, but you cannot commit that sin today, you must see Jesus perform his miracles, and you had to publicly attribute his power to Satan. After Jesus performed his miracles, he also spoke in parables.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
This simply means that the Pharisees back then had all the evidence of Jesus performing miracles through the power of the Holy Spirit, yet they wilfully denied Jesus and ACCUSED him of being demon possessed and performing miracles under the power of Satan. So it is impossible to commit this sin when Jesus is not present on Earth, because you cannot blaspheme the Holy Spirit to his face.
@@amyyennguyenI heard people say this, but I also heard people say you can. But I also heard people say that if you are afraid you did the unforgivable sin, then you didn’t do it. Because the people who do this sin don’t care that they did, Peace be with you!
I love his ministry
Think you pastor Greg Laurie love your videos I love My God IAM always praying or talking to him I have faith and trust in My God I can't wait to be with him in heaven one day Amen and God bless you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
UNBELIEF ! Dying without Christ !
That's right. There's no such thing as selling your soul to the devil. And even if one would be in that situation, God redeems it for free.
Hi guys I just wanted to say I just miss your church and me and my brother Thomas we use to go to your church and my brother went to your church and got mad because of the holiday season of October and I still love your church and I just missed your church by the way do you have a Church here in Hemet California?
Just got done reading Daniel again...
When i was a child, I yelled there is no god after learning of the death of my grandfather. I feel this falls under the sin of blaspheming the holy spirit. Once it came out of my mouth i regretted it and to this day. Thankyou for your teachings and god bless
Trust me Mark we've all done stupid things like that. I have! I like reading Psalms sometimes because David was kind of take to God once in awhile. It's a human condition. We don't always understand what's happening and sometimes we're just very hurt! We're like Lord how can you let this happen to me! It's quite normal don't feel badly about it you already apologized God has an excellent memory once one apology was more than enough. No guilt trips that's from satan.
No Mark, the one who says there’s no God is “only” a fool. You did not blaspheme the Spirit. You did not attribute His work to the devil like the Pharisees did.
Hallelujah
Pastor please pray for me.
I have told my family about this of Harvest Ministries
This topic and verse in Matthew makes me wonder about cults that deny the existence of the Holy Spirit. They turn people from receiving eternal life by denying the Holy Spirit
They don't just deny the holy spirit, they deny that Jesus was God and after he was a man for 33 and a half years he went back to being God the son. They deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ. You will notice that in all cults.
Can't deny holy spirit feel it in your heart
Pastor well taught. I always wondered about the attitude of so called Christian's who are well read about God's word. It is their attitude of pride envy and jealousy.
First you have to sin !!!! God said we were born with sin, so first we have to realize that!! So it’s not,what have i done to be a sinner,GOD said we all fail short. I pray that all would be saved,by the grace of God.
God constantly called out to his people to stop sinning and come back Him. In the old testament.
Best pastor in USA?
I have heard people speak evil of God. I don't think they realize the things they said or the impact of those words. I usually remove myself from the room. When evil comes around I leave also.
