What is the sin unto death in 1 John 5:16-17?

Many struggle with the sin unto death mentioned in 1 John 5:16-17 (and James 5:19-20). But this phrase is not so difficult once we understand that physical death is in view.

You may think God hasn’t forgiven you for that sin. But you’d be wrong. Here’s why…

People often wonder if they have committed a sin God cannot forgive. They only think this because they do not understand the love and grace of God, nor do they understand His forgiveness. No matter what you have said or done, He has forgiven you. We see this when we understand what the Bible says about forgiveness.

Tell God Your Blasphemous Thoughts

Is it a blasphemous thought to think that you hate God? Of course not! In fact, go tell God what you are thinking. He wants to hear it. Seriously. The last thing God wants is for us to shut ourselves off from Him. So if we are having blasphemous thoughts toward God, the best thing we can do is talk to God about them, so that He can show us how much He loves us, and how the God we think we hate is not actually the God He truly is.

Make Sure You Never Commit the Unforgivable Sin

Once you have believed in Jesus for eternal life, the possibility of committing the unpardonable sin becomes an impossibility forever. So believe in Jesus today!

Is Repentance from Sin Required for Forgiveness?

Is repentance necessary to receive the forgiveness of sins? A careful look at repentance in Scripture indicates something surprising. Repentance for the forgiveness of sins has nothing to do with gaining eternal life and entering heaven, but about freedom from the captivating and addictive power of sin.

Is Confession of Sin Required for Forgiveness?

Many believe that God does not and cannot forgive us unless and until we confess our sin. This idea comes from 1 John 1:9, but represents a misunderstanding of the context of 1 John, and the differences between a relationship with God and fellowship with God. Confession restores fellowship within an already existing relationship.

Can God Forgive Me?

Do not ever think that there is a sin you have committed which God cannot or will not forgive. The grace of God runs deeper and wider than most of us will ever know. The ocean of God’s grace never runs dry. The limits of God’s grace are never reached.

Is Failure to Believe in Jesus the Unforgivable Sin?

Some believe that the unforgivable sin is when you live your whole life without believing in Jesus for eternal life. The idea behind this view is that while God forgives all sin, He cannot forgive a person for refusing to believe in Jesus until they actually believe in Jesus for eternal life.

Did Israel commit the unforgivable sin by rejecting Jesus as the Messiah?

Some Bible scholars and teachers believe that the unforgivable sin is Israel’s national rejection of Jesus as the Messiah. If this theory is correct, then nobody is able to commit this sin except for the Jewish people living at the time of Jesus Christ. In other words, since we are not Jewish and we are not living at the time of Jesus, we cannot commit this sin.
