John 4:24
King James Version
24 God is a Spirit:
and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Ever heard of an "unforgivable sin"?
The Holy Spirit of God led me to an amazing statement from Jesus about one such unforgivable sin:
Matthew 12:31-32 (KJV)
31 Wherefore I say unto you,
All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men:
but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man,
it shall be forgiven him:
but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him,
neither in this world,
neither in the world to come.
Has that left an impact upon you yet?
It should, for we all must revere the Holy Spirit of God.
Back in November 2020, when I was first led by the Spirit to that verse, it already left a deep impact in me.
Now that I review Jesus' admonition again, and I look at the verses supporting that, I am convinced it is because of this particular verse:
Romans 8:11 (KJV)
11 But if the Spirit of him
that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
he that raised up Christ from the dead
shall also quicken your mortal bodies
by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
God can raise His beloved Son from the dead.
Acts 2:22-24 (KJV)
22 Ye men of Israel,
hear these words;
Jesus of Nazareth,
a man approved of God among you
by miracles and wonders and signs,
which God did by him in the midst of you,
as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him,
being delivered by the determinate counsel
and foreknowledge of God,
ye have taken,
and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up,
having loosed the pains of death:
because it was not possible
that he should be holden of it.
Acts 2:30-33 (KJV)
30 Therefore being a prophet,
and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him,
that of the fruit of his loins,
according to the flesh,
he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ,
that his soul was not left in hell,
neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up,
whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the Father
the promise of the Holy Ghost,
he hath shed forth this,
which ye now see and hear.
Why, then, would we blaspheme the very SPIRIT that raised our LORD JESUS on the third day?
Considering the fact, the LORD JESUS promised us the same resurrection:
John 5:28-29 (KJV)
28 Marvel not at this:
for the hour is coming,
in the which all that are in the graves
shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth;
they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil,
unto the resurrection of damnation.
It doesn't make sense for us to sabotage our own chances to be with the Lord forever.
It would take an evil spirit to do so.
A very evil, and jealous spirit.
