THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN.
People have thought about and questioned in their hearts the nature of the unforgivable sin. What is this sin? Christ said, ‘Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.’ [Matthew 12.32] These are serious words. The reason why Christ spoke these words was because his opponents were saying that his great works and miracles were done through the devil.
