The Unforgivable Sin: Understanding Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit #2187

The Unforgivable Sin: Understanding Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit In shadows deep where hearts rebel, A warning clear, a tale to tell, Of words that twist and deeds that mar, The sacred flame, the guiding star. A hardened heart, a spirit closed, Rejects the grace the Spirit shows, The miracle of love denied, The truth in darkness tries to hide. Oh, heed the call, believers true, Discern the work the Spirit does do, With humble hearts and open minds, Embrace the signs that God designs. A tree that bears good fruit will show, The seeds of faith in hearts will grow, Yet those who turn, with hearts of stone, In blasphemy, they stand alone. No pardon for the stubborn soul, Who shuns the Spirit's gentle role, But grace abounds for those who seek, The path of light, the humble meek. Reflect within, and guard your speech, For what we sow, our hearts do teach, To honor God, to love and fear, The Holy Spirit ever near. In unity, let us remain, A church that honors, free of stain, The Spirit's work, in us, alive, In faith and love, we shall thrive. Thus, take this warning to the heart, From God’s grace, do not depart, For blasphemy’s dark, grievous sin, Is turning from the light within. So cherish well the Spirit's flame, In Jesus' holy, precious name, For in His love, we find our place, Redeemed by mercy, saved by grace. -Steven G. Lee (July 4, 2024)
