Jesus Literally Told Us What The Unforgivable Sin Is (Bible Mysteries Explained) · Off The Kirb Ministries

• 0:00
  If you think you've committed the unforgivable sin, I want you
• 0:03
  to pay close attention because literally thousands of people
• 0:06
  believe that they have crossed the point of no return.
• 0:09
  And if that's you, you probably believe that there's no hope for
• 0:12
  you. You probably believe that God
• 0:13
  has withdrawn any chance of mercy and that He can't even
• 0:17
  stand the very sight of you. So why do so many people think
• 0:20
  like this? Well, I think it's because 99%
• 0:23
  of people are totally way off about the unforgivable sin.
• 0:27
  So what on earth is this sin? What is the one sin that God
• 0:31
  will never forgive? Some people say that making a
• 0:34
  deal with the devil is the unforgivable sin, but here's the
• 0:37
  evidence of why it is not. The Lord God says behold All
• 0:41
  Souls are mine. Now either that Bible verse is
• 0:44
  true or it's not. Either the Lord God really does
• 0:47
  own all the souls on earth or he doesn't.
• 0:50
  And personally I want to say let God be true and every man a
• 0:54
  liar. Now perhaps something dark has
• 0:56
  happened, and perhaps the devil himself has deceived a person's
• 1:00
  mind into thinking that he has more power than he really does.
• 1:03
  But the truth is this. It is impossible to sell your
• 1:07
  soul because your soul does not belong to you in the 1st place,
• 1:10
  it belongs to the Lord God. I mean, which of you can sell a
• 1:12
  house that you do not own in the 1st place?
• 1:15
  OK, but others say that the sin that God will never forgive is
• 1:19
  repetitive sin, like the man or woman who habitually watches
• 1:23
  wrong things on the Internet. Is that the unforgivable sin?
• 1:26
  Personally, I don't think it is, but that doesn't mean it can't
• 1:29
  lead to. And in a moment's time, I want
• 1:31
  to tell you a very embarrassing story about myself and how I
• 1:35
  nearly committed the sin that has no forgiveness.
• 1:37
  And I want to warn you not to make the same mistake that I
• 1:40
  did. Some people say that the
• 1:42
  unforgivable sin is to speak a disrespectful word against the
• 1:46
  Holy Spirit, to take his name in vain.
• 1:49
  Just like it's a grievous sin when we say OMG and we say Jesus
• 1:52
  Christ and we're using it in the wrong way.
• 1:55
  Many people do this. They use Christ's name as a way
• 1:58
  to express disgust or shock. They use it as a curse word.
• 2:01
  And it is a very serious sin to drag the Lord's name through the
• 2:05
  dirt, to laugh at it, to mock it.
• 2:06
  I mean, would any of you be OK with someone dragging your
• 2:09
  daughter's name through the dirt, your mother's name through
• 2:11
  the dirt, and yet the name of the Lord Jesus Christ?
• 2:14
  We're so casual with it, but it should be the complete opposite.
• 2:17
  When His name goes on our lips, there should be a fear, there
• 2:21
  should be a sense of reverence. This is the name above all
• 2:24
  names. This is the only name that can
• 2:27
  Get Me Out of the consequences of my sin, can Get Me Out of the
• 2:30
  judgement of God, and can take me to heaven.
• 2:33
  And it's the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:35
  Did you know the Bible says that God will not hold any man, any
• 2:38
  woman guiltless who takes His name in vain.
• 2:41
  So we should see it as a very serious sin.
• 2:44
  But I do believe there is forgiveness to be found for any
• 2:47
  man, any woman who cries out for mercy if they blasphemy the name
• 2:52
  of the Lord. OK, before I tell you what I
• 2:54
  personally believe the unforgivable sin is, I want to
• 2:57
  set the scene first. You need the full context to
• 3:01
  understand this warning. And Speaking of context, one
• 3:03
  thing I've decided on this channel is to put no adverts.
• 3:07
  Why? Because I know that this sin
• 3:09
  that we've just been talking about, habitual sin, it often
• 3:12
  comes from these kinds of distractions, from these kinds
• 3:14
  of unhelpful ads. It can lead some people to do
• 3:17
  that. And that is why I wanted my
• 3:19
  little space on YouTube to be pure to be totally ad free
• 3:23
  content. So if that's something you value
• 3:25
  and you'd like to see more videos like this in the future,
• 3:27
  please do subscribe. Now back to the topic.
• 3:30
  If you are living in repetitive sin, there is a serious warning
• 3:33
  that I have for you at the end of this video.
• 3:35
  But first let's unpack what the unforgivable sin really is.
• 3:39
  One day a large crowd had gathered around the Lord Jesus
• 3:42
  Christ and the people brought a man before him, a man who was
• 3:45
  blind. He could not see, he could not
• 3:48
  speak and he was possessed by a demon.
• 3:50
  So what did the Lord Jesus Christ do with that man?
• 3:52
  He cast that demon out of him. He opened those blind eyes and
• 3:57
  he made those lips to speak. The crowd was amazed.
• 4:00
  They couldn't believe what they'd just seen.
• 4:02
  And they started to say amongst themselves, could this be the
• 4:05
  son of David? In other words, could this be
• 4:07
  our Messiah? Could this be the one we've been
• 4:09
  waiting for? Could this be the Saviour of the
• 4:12
  entire world? But when the Pharisees heard
• 4:14
  this, they became very angry. They were irritated and they
• 4:19
  said, no, no, no, no, there's no way that this man is doing this
• 4:22
  in his own strength, in his own power.
• 4:24
  No, it is by the power of Beelzebub, the leader of the
• 4:26
  demons. That's how he's able to cast out
• 4:29
  demons. All right, Now, this is very,
• 4:32
  very important. So you need to catch this.
• 4:34
  What you need to know about these Pharisees is they weren't
• 4:37
  just your average unbeliever on the street that might say, oh,
• 4:40
  God isn't real. There isn't enough evidence.
• 4:42
  No, these were sophisticated Bible scholars.
• 4:45
  These were the men who studied the Scriptures for hours and
• 4:48
  hours, and they had done this for years and years since they
• 4:51
  were children. They knew the Word of God inside
• 4:53
  out, and they should be able to recognize the work of God better
• 4:56
  than anyone else. But for some reason or another,
• 4:59
  they decided to reject the Holy Spirit's witness when it was
• 5:02
  right in front of them. They decided to reject the work
• 5:05
  of God and had the audacity to say that what Jesus Christ was
• 5:09
  doing, he was doing under the power of the devil.
• 5:12
  And at that point, at that very point, Jesus Christ gave them
• 5:16
  perhaps one of the sternest mornings in all of Scripture.
• 5:20
  He said this. And so I tell you, every kind of
• 5:23
  sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit
• 5:28
  will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against
• 5:32
  the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against
• 5:36
  the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or
• 5:40
  in the age to come. So let's take all of that into
• 5:43
  our minds and then let me share a definition of the unforgivable
• 5:47
  sin. After much research, after much
• 5:49
  thinking, this is what I think it is.
• 5:51
  The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is a willful, stubborn,
• 5:55
  intentional rejection of Christ and the gospel.
• 5:59
  Even when the Holy Spirit has given you overwhelming evidence
• 6:02
  and clarity of who Jesus Christ is, and you have a full
• 6:05
  knowledge of his power, you can see it with your own two eyes.
• 6:08
  And yeah, after all that, you still choose to reject him, and
• 6:12
  you reject him stubbornly. Yes, the Pharisees could see
• 6:15
  that the man in front of them had been healed.
• 6:17
  Yes, the Pharisees could see that he had been delivered from
• 6:20
  a demon. Yes, the Pharisees could see
• 6:22
  that this man, Jesus Christ, was literally changing lives.
• 6:26
  And yet to have all of that light, to have all of that
• 6:29
  revelation, but to still say that this work came from the
• 6:32
  devil, that, my dear friend, is unforgivable.
• 6:36
  OK, but I can hear some of you right now.
• 6:37
  You're still saying, I still don't quite understand what the
• 6:40
  unforgivable sin is. I don't understand what you
• 6:42
  mean. But if I was to sum it up in
• 6:43
  just two words, I'd say this. It's ongoing apostasy.
• 6:48
  This is not a sin you can commit accidentally.
• 6:51
  This is not something you can do unconsciously.
• 6:53
  No, this is a day by day stubbornness, A continuous
• 6:57
  refusal to obey the gospel, to put your trust in the Lord Jesus
• 7:01
  Christ and to come to him. Countless times in the
• 7:03
  scriptures we read of men and women who refuse to believe on
• 7:07
  the Lord Jesus Christ, the Bible says they would not believe.
• 7:11
  But then there is a very scary verse in John chapter 12, verse
• 7:14
  39, and it says they could not believe.
• 7:17
  What does that mean? Well, I think it means this,
• 7:19
  that for so long they had said I reject Jesus Christ.
• 7:22
  I don't want Jesus, I do not want God.
• 7:24
  For so long they did this that there comes a point where they
• 7:27
  just could not believe anymore. A classic example of this is
• 7:31
  Pharaoh. You remember Pharaoh, he had the
• 7:33
  people of Israel in his captivacy and Moses kept
• 7:36
  approaching him saying let my people go.
• 7:38
  The Lord says let my people go. But Pharaoh refused to obey the
• 7:43
  voice of the Lord. In fact, it says that Pharaoh
• 7:45
  hardened his heart. And then what does the Bible
• 7:48
  say? Because Pharaoh continued to
• 7:50
  harden his heart, It then says the Lord also hardened Pharaoh's
• 7:54
  heart. May I go deeper?
• 7:56
  There comes a time when God sort of says, OK, I respect your
• 8:00
  decision. I affirm your decision, I
• 8:03
  strengthen your decision. If you do not want me, I now
• 8:06
  hand you over to complete darkness.
• 8:08
  But you do not have to have anything to do with me.
• 8:11
  The Bible says my spirit will not strive with man forever.
• 8:14
  That's what God himself says. And if you are going to keep on
• 8:17
  saying day after day, week after week, month by month, year after
• 8:20
  year, no, no, no, no, no. I do not want Jesus Christ.
• 8:23
  I do not want to come to him. I do not want to put my trust in
• 8:26
  him. I will not come to Christ.
• 8:27
  I reject him. Well, can I say this?
• 8:29
  There comes a point where God will not propose to you anymore.
• 8:33
  There comes a point where God will say enough is enough.
• 8:36
  I'm not going to force you into my Kingdom.
• 8:38
  If you don't want me, then I affirm your decision and I will
• 8:42
  leave you into the powers of darkness.
• 8:44
  I will leave you in a place because you shut out the light
• 8:47
  for so long. You can go to that place where
• 8:50
  there is no light. And when that happens, that's
• 8:53
  when you cross that invisible line.
• 8:55
  And the terrifying reality is you don't even realize that
• 8:58
  you've crossed it. There comes a point where you
• 9:00
  have 0 desire for the Bible, you have 0 desire to hear the
• 9:04
  gospel, you have 0 desire for God.
• 9:07
  That not even a £400 gorilla could break that hard heart
• 9:11
  because you've crossed that invisible line and you've shut
• 9:13
  Him out one too many times. You can probably tell by my face
• 9:16
  that this isn't easy for me to talk about.
• 9:19
  But if what I just said terrifies you, I want you to
• 9:21
  take a deep breath now, because it's very, very likely I truly
• 9:25
  do believe this. You have not committed the
• 9:27
  unforgivable sin because if you had, like the Pharisee, you'd be
• 9:30
  apathetic. You simply would not care, and
• 9:33
  all that would be in your heart is a rejection to the Lord Jesus
• 9:36
  Christ. And you won't care about this
• 9:38
  sin. The fact that it bothers you
• 9:39
  right now is very strong evidence that you have not yet
• 9:42
  committed the unpardonable sin. But friends, some of you
• 9:46
  listening, you know there is unbelief in your heart.
• 9:48
  Some of you listening, you have not yet put your trust in the
• 9:51
  Lord Jesus Christ. And I want to say this to you,
• 9:54
  be very careful because there is a day when mercy is cut off.
• 9:58
  There is a day when God finally says, OK, you've rejected me
• 10:01
  long enough, I'm not going to knock on the door of your heart
• 10:04
  anymore. And I don't know how many more
• 10:06
  second chances you've got left. I don't know how many more times
• 10:09
  you can reject him. I don't know how many more nose
• 10:12
  you have left. I don't know when your last
• 10:14
  opportunity to hear the gospel will be.
• 10:16
  I don't know if even this very video is the last chance you
• 10:21
  have to repent and put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 10:24
  But there's one thing I do know and it's this.
• 10:27
  If today you can see the Son of God hanging on that cross,
• 10:31
  standing there, condemned in your place for your sin,
• 10:34
  bleeding there, dying there so that you might be forgiven, I
• 10:37
  plead with you, don't look the other way today.
• 10:39
  If you can see the stone being rolled away, you can hear the
• 10:42
  voice of the people saying he is alive, he's risen, Jesus Christ
• 10:46
  has conquered the grave. He's it's on the impossible, and
• 10:49
  He gives eternal life to all who come and receive Him.
• 10:51
  If today you can hear that, do not close your ears to that
• 10:55
  sound. If today you can feel the Lord
• 10:58
  Jesus Christ knocking on the door of your heart, behold, I
• 11:02
  stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice, I will
• 11:05
  open the door and I will come into Him and dine with Him and
• 11:08
  He with me. If today you can see Jesus
• 11:11
  Christ standing there, His hair is wet with you.
• 11:14
  The night has been long. He's patiently knocked on your
• 11:17
  heart for so long, but today he says let me in.
• 11:21
  If today you can see him standing there, I plead with
• 11:24
  you, do not shut the door in his face.
• 11:26
  Oh my dear friends, how many more times do these videos have
• 11:30
  to appear in your recommendations?
• 11:32
  Oh my friends, how many more times do you have to hear the
• 11:35
  urging of a preacher telling you to come to the Lord Jesus
• 11:38
  Christ? When will you stop hardening
• 11:41
  your heart like Pharaoh? When will you finally say today
• 11:44
  is the day of salvation? Now is the accepted time.
• 11:47
  I must my trust in Him because tomorrow might be too late.
• 11:51
  So if right now you can feel the Holy Spirit laying his finger on
• 11:55
  an air of your life or urging you to come, I plead with you,
• 11:58
  turn to Him right now. Pause the video.
• 12:01
  Everything else can wait. Stop the video and cry out to
• 12:04
  him right now. And the God who hears all things
• 12:07
  will answer your prayer and save you.
• 12:09
  So here's my message to the man or woman who's living in
• 12:12
  habitual sin. You need to hear this.
• 12:14
  When I was 24 years old. I'm embarrassed to admit this,
• 12:17
  but I was living in habitual sin for such a long time that I was,
• 12:21
  you could say I was bathing myself in sin.
• 12:23
  It wasn't just one sin, It was many different sins.
• 12:26
  And I'd gone further than being backslidden.
• 12:28
  I got to the point where I cherish my sin, where I sort of
• 12:32
  had a fantasy about my sin. And I'd started to think this
• 12:35
  way of being a Christian is nonsense.
• 12:37
  The way of a Christian is not for me.
• 12:39
  I want to enjoy my sin. I want to live in my sin.
• 12:42
  I want to have a really good time.
• 12:43
  And while I'm young, I want to have all of the pleasures of
• 12:46
  this life. And guys, I got very, very
• 12:48
  close. I nearly became an apostate.
• 12:51
  If you don't know what that word means, an apostate is someone
• 12:53
  who walks away from their faith in Christ and turns their back
• 12:56
  on the gospel with no desire to follow God.
• 12:59
  By the way, let me just say this.
• 13:00
  I do believe that the weight of Scripture teaches that even the
• 13:03
  apostate himself can be restored if they repent.
• 13:06
  And that's why I said ongoing apostasy is the unforgivable
• 13:09
  sin. What happened to me?
• 13:11
  Well, God had mercy on me. God in his grace drew me out of
• 13:16
  that. He showed me the foolishness of
• 13:18
  my mind and He showed me just how wonderful he really is and
• 13:22
  how weak and pathetic that kind of life is.
• 13:26
  And friends, why do I tell you that story?
• 13:28
  I tell it to you because if you are playing with habitual sin, I
• 13:32
  want to say play any game, but do not play that game.
• 13:35
  Because there are men and women who I know personally and you
• 13:38
  probably know personally, who got too close to the edge and
• 13:41
  then they fell off and they never came back.
• 13:43
  Now some of you will say, well, they were never saved in the 1st
• 13:46
  place. Well, I don't know about that.
• 13:48
  These are really deep things we've been talking about today
• 13:51
  that a simple St. preacher like me, I can't answer these
• 13:53
  questions at times. But there is one thing I do
• 13:56
  know. If today you know that your sin
• 13:59
  has got a hold of you, it's got a grip of you, you're getting
• 14:01
  too close to the edge. I'm asking you, I'm pleading
• 14:04
  with you, turn from it. Because the Bible says let none
• 14:07
  of us be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin and sin can
• 14:11
  really harden you over a slow period of time.
• 14:13
  It's the point where you don't even desire the things of God.
• 14:16
  But let me give you some hope now, because there's one more
• 14:18
  thing you need to remember, and it's this.
• 14:20
  What was that verse we read before?
• 14:21
  What did Jesus say before? One of the most severe warnings
• 14:25
  in the entire Bible? He said something very
• 14:27
  comforting. This is what He said.
• 14:29
  Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven.
• 14:33
  And it's true, isn't it? God really does have a bigger
• 14:35
  razor that can wash away our sins.
• 14:37
  And any man, any woman who humbly turns back to God and
• 14:40
  asks for that forgiveness of sins, He'll forgive them of all.
• 14:43
  So there's always hope. There's always restoration to be
• 14:46
  found for any person who is willing to come back to God.
• 14:49
  And that's the key message. Are you willing to come back to
• 14:52
  God? All right, but if you thought
• 14:54
  that the unforgivable sin raised a few eyebrows, what about this
• 14:57
  question? Where does the unbeliever go
• 14:59
  when they die? Is it a place of eternal sadness
• 15:02
  or is it a place of unconsciousness?
• 15:04
  Or does everyone go to heaven? Well, if you want to know the
• 15:07
  answer and I spent a lot of time studying this, click this video
• 15:11
  right away.
