THE UNPARDONABLE SIN

JESUS LED AND EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

*   Luke 4:1, 14 - "And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, and Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of Him through all the region round about."
*   John 3:34 - "For He Whom God has sent speaks the words of God:  for God gives not the Spirit by measure unto Him."
*   Acts 10:38 - "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how He went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with Him."
*   Hebrews 9:14 - "How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!"

 

THE WORK OF THE SPIRIT IS TO BRING THE LOST TO CHRIST

*   John 16:8-11, 14 - "And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:  Of sin, because they believe not on Me; Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged....He shall glorify Me:  for He shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you."

 

DENYING THE SPIRIT'S "EVIDENCE," IS BLASPHEMY OF THE HOLY GHOST

*   Matthew 12:22, 24-28, 32, 37 - "Then was brought unto Him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and He healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw....But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:  And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out?  Therefore they shall be your judges.  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you....And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him:  but whosoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come....For by your words you shalt be justified, and by your words you shalt be condemned."

 

BELIEVING THE SPIRIT'S EVIDENCE RESULTS IN SALVATION

*   Romans 10:9-11 - "That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.  For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, Whosoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed."
