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.
Matthew 12:31-32
King James Version
Has the importance of those verses sunk in yet?
Bu for what reason did the LORD JESUS declare that?
Here's why:
28 Verily I say unto you,
All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men,
and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost
hath never forgiveness,
but is in danger of eternal damnation.
30 Because they said,
He hath an unclean spirit.
Mark 3:28-30
King James Version
What is the Holy Spirit?
Who is the Holy Spirit?
Why must we revere the Holy Spirit?
Let Scripture tell you more.
God put His spirit in us.
27 And I will put my spirit within you,
and cause you to walk in my statutes,
and ye shall keep my judgments,
and do them.
Ezekiel 36:27
King James Version
The Spirit dwells in us.
17 Even the Spirit of truth;
whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him:
but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
John 14:17
King James Version
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
19 What?
know ye not that your body
is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own?
1 Corinthians 6:19
King James Version
The Spirit and the flesh are contrary to one another.
16 This I say then,
Walk in the Spirit,
and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh:
and these are contrary the one to the other:
so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit,
ye are not under the law.
Galatians 5:16-18
King James Version
The SPIRIT of GOD raised JESUS from the dead.
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.
Romans 8:11
King James Version
God gave us the Comforter.
16 And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:16
King James Version
The Holy Spirit is the teacher of all things.
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:26
King James Version
The Nature of the Holy Spirit is TRUTH.
13 Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth,
is come,
he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me:
for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:13-14
King James Version
Spirit "searcheth all the deep things of God".
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:
for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea,
the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save the spirit of man which is in him?
even so the things of God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world,
but the spirit which is of God;
that we might know the things that are freely given to us
of God.
13 Which things also we speak,
not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things,
yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord,
that he may instruct him?
but we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:10-16
King James Version
Jesus anointed us with the Holy Spirit.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you,
and ye need not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things,
and is truth,
and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you,
ye shall abide in him.
1 John 2:27
King James Version
