Matthew 12:22-32 – What is the Unforgivable Sin? – 0486A
Description
Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0486A recorded on January 31, 1982 teaching from Matthew 12:22-32 – What is the Unforgivable Sin?
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens analyzes the nature of the unforgivable sin, defined as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, drawing primarily from Matthew 12:22-32. He stresses that this sin represents a defiant irreverence toward the Spirit’s testimony that Jesus is Lord, arguing that such rejection is unforgivable both in this world and in the world to come, emphasizing there is no second chance after death. Stevens contextualizes this by examining the Pharisees’ opposition, who, despite witnessing Jesus’s miracle, attributed His power to Beelzebub, thus displaying an evil heart and a constant demand for a sign, which the Pastor connects to a lack of faith today. Ultimately, the unforgivable sin is the continual rejection of the Holy Spirit’s testimony about Christ, a refusal to repent and accept salvation.
