Freedom

“Endowed by our Creator”. How true! Our freedom in America is rooted in the Declaration of Independence. Freedom is given to us by God Himself 🙂

There are some who would destroy those roots and some who would return to them. Many have died to protect them. Many have fought with a selfless courage to keep them. And we should honor all of them!

There can be no doubt that God created us to be free. Not only in this country, but in life. Choose wisely!

More On The Fairness of The Unforgivable Sin…

We all like to focus on God’s Great Mercy and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s so comforting to think about God’s Great Love for all of us.  And to know, that when we fail.  He will be there to catch us, and to forgive us. And to Love us!

But God is also Just.  And His Justice is not necessarily something every one likes to focus on.  And yet, if God were not Just, would we follow Him?  What’s the point of striving to do all that the Bible teaches us, if it doesn’t matter?  Thank God, it does matter.  And that is one of the reasons for the Unforgivable Sin.  We have our whole lives to accept Christ, but at some point, there has to be a reckoning.  This is it.

God is indeed Merciful, but He is also Just.  And we thank Him for both ?

Is It Fair To Have An Unforgivable Sin?

Some will say that it is unfair that our death can place us in a state of Unforgivable Sin.  But God is fair.  We each have our entire life in which to accept Jesus.  And that is the same for every human being that exists.  It doesn’t matter what country one comes from; what race one is; if one is rich or poor.  Every human being receives the same ability to choose.

Choose wisely?

The Unforgiveable Sin!

The Unforgiveable Sin used to scare me.  The Bible says the Unforgiveable Sin is Blaspheming the Holy Spirit.  And I believe that.  But what does that mean?  Had I ever accidentally done that?  After all I am no youngster, I can’t remember every single thing I have done in my life.  The truth is, I think that the idea of an Unforgivable Sin scares a lot of people.  And yet if you are alive, it is not a sin you could have committed.

The Unforgiveable Sin is when we die rejecting Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.  For the Holy Spirit only comes to us when we accept Jesus as our Savior.  So you see, if you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, it’s just not possible that you have committed the “Unforgiveable Sin”.

For Jesus forgives all other sin the minute we accept Him as our Savior.  The Holy Spirit becomes a part of us that very same moment. 

For more on The Unforgivable Sin, I think Billy Graham explains it even better: https://billygraham.org/answer/what-is-the-unpardonable-sin-i-am-afraid-i-may-have-committed-it/

So as long as we are alive, we can not have committed the Unforgiveable Sin.
