3) What sin or sins can not be forgiven?

  
 
In Matthew 12:31-32 the Pharisees had blasphemed against the Spirit by attributing the power by which Christ did miracles to Satan (12:24) instead of the Holy Spirit. The unpardonable sin is the deliberate refusal to acknowledge God’s power in Christ even though they saw it with their own eyes. They knew it was a miracle, but they attributed this to the power of Satan. That is the unpardonable sin. If you personally witness an absolute miracle and you say the devil is responsible, then you have committed this sin. It indicates a deliberate and irreversible hardness of heart. Sometime believers worry that they accidentally committed this unforgivable sin. But only those who have turned their backs on God and rejected all faith have any need to worry.
