6. The Holy Spirit and Sins.

a. . “Grieve not the holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption” (). Grieve is a word that has to do with love. People who do not love you will never grieve over you. The Holy Spirit grieves over us; therefore, He must love us.

b. . “Peter said, Ananias, why hast Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost?” (). Ananias lied to the Church, the temple of the Holy Ghost. We, too, can lie to the Holy Spirit. We can sing a lie. Sometimes in an emotional meeting people dedicate their lives to definite Christian service, but shortly after they neglect this decision. This is lying to the Holy Ghost.

c. . “Quench not the Spirit” (). To “quench” means to “extinguish.” One can quench the gifts of the Spirit, and can quench the Spirit in others by forbidding them to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit (Num. 11:28, 29).

d. . “Ye do always resist the Holy Ghost” ().

e. I. “Of how much sorer punishment...shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God . . . and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace” ().

f. . This is the so-called unpardonable sin found in and . If the grace of God, which will pardon the sins of mankind, will not pardon this one, it must be an unusual sin. is not the unpardonable sin. is not the unpardonable sin. Where would we be if this were true? is not the unpardonable sin; however, the man who rejects Christ and dies is indeed lost. The Spirit will not strive with man after death. His final rejection is not , but .

Man should distinguish between the following:

— Unpardonable

Unforgiven —

— Unsavable

I believe the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which some term “unpardonable,” was a , limited for thirty-three years, during Christ’s stay on earth. There are no sinners on God’s blacklist today. God has never commissioned any man to go out and preach the message that there are some men He will not save.

Has anyone who has committed this blasphemy been saved? Yes, the Apostle Paul, “who was before a , and a persecutor, and injurious; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. . . . Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting” ().

The word “” in Matthew 12:32, and verse 30 of Mark 3 are the keys to the correct interpretation.
