A large block of ice with a calf's body had fallen, and floated into the Niagra River cataracts. An eagle circled overhead. Down and stood over the dead animal, hoping to feast. The ice block was getting closer and closer to the falls, but the eagle was not afraid. He knew his powerful wings in flight would in due course. On the shore a group of winter tourists held their breath as the ice began to spin in the strong current. Why not forget the calf and the eagle fly? A few seconds before the fatal fall, the big bird began to flap their wings to fly away, they were going to get out of this dangerous situation. But this time they were powerless. The eagle did not realize that its claws were glued to the ice and could not escape. As the crowd watched on the shore in silence, helpless eagle wings frantically beat again, to no avail. Eagle ice and crashed and broke up in the rocks below.
The saddest spectacle in the world sadder than the tragic and unnecessary fate of the eagle, is the man or woman who has committed the unpardonable sin. Perhaps the saddest verse in the Bible, is in the Lamentations of Jeremiah on the status of Israel's sin: "The harvest is past, summer ended, and we have not been saved" (Jeremiah 8:20). Many people is confused about the unpardonable sin. There has been much speculation on the subject. How do we make? How to know if we have already committed?
1. What did the apostle John to sin that is so terrible that God can not forgive? 1 John 5:16
_________________________________________________________________ 2. What sin did Jesus could not forgive? Matthew 12:31, 32
_________________________________________________________________ One thing that God ever made, and is chosen by us. The sky and chose to pay the highest price possible (Jesus) so that the maximum power possible (Holy Spirit) were with us. But each person must choose their own destiny. If we follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we shall be saved, if we do not, we are lost. Due to the importance of work and the role of the Holy Spirit, whom the unpardonable sin has to do, Let's consider first.
1. Who is the Holy Spirit?
1. Who is closely associated with the Holy Spirit? Matthew 28:19, 1 John 5:7
_________________________________________________________________ 2. After the baptism of Jesus, how the Spirit manifested Ghost? Matthew 3:16, 17
_________________________________________________________________ 3. Who is the Holy Spirit? John 16:13-15
_________________________________________________________________
The Holy Spirit is God's representative on earth. The nature of the Spirit of God is a mystery. Some put together some passages of Scripture and build their own human ideas about them, but the acceptance of those views do not strengthen the Christian. Regarding such mysteries, silence is golden. The human Jesus could only be in one place at once. The Holy Spirit is everywhere at once. "It is expedient that I go," said Jesus (John 16:7), because that would send the Spirit with a special power to be with his children around the world at a time.
2. What is the work of the Holy Spirit?
1. What three things does the Holy Spirit? John 16:8 "And convince the world of ___________ of ____________________ and ___________________".
"Whatever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). Given that there is no salvation outside of Christ (Acts 14:12), not believing in Him is sin in the deepest sense. No wonder that John draws attention specially to the Holy Spirit convinced that Jesus is indeed our Savior.
Justice is "doing what is right." The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, and sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4), therefore, the Spirit sustains the fairness and immutable law of the One whose life is guided by the principles of the Ten commandments, live a life of righteousness.
There is another aspect involved in this passage about justice (John 16:10). "Of righteousness, because I go unto the Father, and ye see me no more." What does Jesus see go to the Father, with justice? The English translation Living Bible renders it this way: "Justice is accessible, because I go to the Father." Jesus has ascended to His Father, where He intercedes for those who accept Him as Savior (Hebrews 7:25, 9:24). Paul says, "reign in life by one, Jesus Christ, those who receive the abundance and the gift of righteousness ... the same way by the righteousness of one came upon all men unto justification of life" (Romans 5:17, 18). What a thought! What a gift! Not only did Jesus pay our penalty of death on the cross, in addition, in His sinless life here on earth, won the right to give us His perfect life as a gift. God, literally, to Jesus "was made sin, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" \u200b\u200b(2 Corinthians 5:21).
2. How many will appear at the trial? 2 Corinthians 5:10
_________________________________________________________________
If the world must be judged, if Satan and the fallen angels have to be judged (Jude 6), "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation" (Hebrews 2 : 2, 3). The trial is closely related to the Law of God. "So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty "(James 2:12). God has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man who appointed "(Acts 17:31). Spirit is the job of impressing the truth in the minds of men, so that each be responsible, be accountable to God one day.
3. What other name is called the Holy Spirit? John 14:16
_________________________________________________________________
If we cast on the mercy of God and completely abandoned to His will, His Holy Spirit will comfort our hearts overwhelmed.
4. "By whom one born in the family of God? John 3:5
_________________________________________________________________
transfer Adam's family to the family of God, is what is called "new birth." "Yet to all who received Him, to those who believe in His name, He gave power to become children of God" (John 1:12). This new life is more than a modification or improvement of the old life of sin, is actually a transformation of nature. With the ego and sin dead now, a new life in Christ begins. This transformation can only be made by the Holy Spirit.
5. Who dwells the Holy Spirit? John 14:17
_________________________________________________________________ 6. What other functions exercised by the Holy Spirit? Romans 8:26
_________________________________________________________________
Since the Spirit dwells in us, knows all our needs. Being a member of the Godhead, he also knows how to present our cases in the sky.
To consider: Many people are embarrassed to pray in front of others, saying "can not pray with pretty words." How can this verse help us in this regard? ____________________________________ ___________
7. What other important work does the Holy Spirit?
John 16:13 "And I ___________________________________________ truth."
Romans 8:14 "For all who are ___________________________, _______________________________
are sons of God."
not receive the whole truth at once (John 16:12). The names of Wycliffe, Huss, Jerome, Luther, Knox, Calvin, Wesley, and many others shine in the pages of history, recalling the eradication of error and the advancement of truth. Unfortunately, many stood in the footsteps of those men and followed no further.
When the pilgrims were about to board the May flower to undertake the historic voyage to the New World, met on the shores of Holland with friends who stayed. Their pastor, John Robinson, spoke these words of farewell, we all do well to hear: "Brothers ... I ask before the Lord and his holy angels who did not follow me beyond what I have followed Christ. If God reveals anything else with his other instrument, be as ready to welcome you as if you were to receive truth through my ministry, I am convinced that the Lord has more truth and light that still show their Santa Word. " God does not make us responsible for the "light" we do not own, but holds us accountable for what we have or could have had if we had taken every opportunity to know his will (John 9:41, Matthew 13:15) .
8. What else will help the Holy Spirit? John 14:26
_________________________________________________________________ 9. Who gives us power to witness for Christ? Acts 1:8
_________________________________________________________________ "I spent five years on the summit," said one man, a famous preacher. "How many winning souls for Christ? "asked the man of God. The other confessed he did not win. The reply was: "That's not the kind of peak experience we need." Christians should want to do more than just believing in Christ are called to be His witnesses to an unbelieving world.
10. Who seals our redemption? Ephesians 4:30
_________________________________________________________________
The Spirit is the seal, is the agent who sealed with the seal of God (Revelation 7:30). In another lesson we will learn more about this seal of God. You can appreciate the roles of the Spirit as we are going to review:
1.Convence the man of sin. 2.Convence
man of justice.
man 3.Convence trial.
4.Hace Comforter work.
5.Produce the new birth.
6.More in the heart of all who have accepted Jesus.
7.Intercede by man. 8.Guía
man.
9.Enseña the man and remembers things.
10.Da power to witness for Jesus. 11.Sella
man until the day of redemption.
3. What is sin against the Holy Spirit?
1. What kind of sin compared David "The Great Rebellion"? Psalm 19:13
_________________________________________________________________
presumptuous sin is deliberately choosing our own way instead of God, and then boast that he does not care. It is dangerous to take such a thing, because God is good but not forgive sin in all circumstances. The experiences of Nadab and Abihu (Leviticus 10:1, February) and the birthright of Esau (Genesis 25:29-34, 27:30-40, Hebrews 12:16, 17), Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5: 1-11), and the people in the days Noah (Genesis 6:3-7) show us how God feels when someone deliberately abused his goodness and mercy.
2. In what ways can you commit the unpardonable sin?
a) 1 John 1:9
_________________________________________________________________
without confessing a sin is a sin without pardon, and only those who confess their sin and leaving mercy (Proverbs 28:13). Just as no sin is too great to be forgiven, no sin, however small, can be forgiven if you confess sincerely.
b) Hebrews 2:3
_________________________________________________________________
However good the intentions, if we reject persistent appeals of the Spirit of God, we enter dangerous territory. Being careless with the truth is to reject the truth. For many people, "tomorrow" never comes.
c) John 12:35 "Walk while ye have light,
_________________________ What is Light? "Lamp to my feet to your word, and a light unto my path" (Psalm 119:105). "Your word is truth" (John 17:17). Therefore, light is the truth. While studying the Word of God (the truth as in Jesus, Ephesians 4:21), the Holy Spirit impresses us to follow. What gives high value to the true God! Do you realize that those who perish, because they will never develop "love of truth to be saved? (2 Thessalonians 2:10). God wants all men to be saved and come to know the truth "(1 Timothy 2:4), but not everyone chooses to follow the truth. And the truth is not obeyed, quickly turns into darkness (John 12:35).
3. Will it work indefinitely the Spirit in us? Genesis 6:3 _________________________________________________________________
may get used both the voice of the Spirit, we harden. Suppose that ignores the alarm clock, how long would it take to not hear it? Our hearts are very sensitive to the Spirit of God when he speaks for the first time, but if we refuse to hear, his voice gradually becomes a whisper in the end do not hear at all.
see, the unpardonable sin is not a specific sin that is tied to our life. It is a condition that reached to resist the Spirit of God. When a man makes a mistake for the first time, you feel guilty and conscience is remembered, but the more committed the error, unless you feel embarrassed until I see it as sin at all.
4. Can a man know if he committed the unpardonable sin?
1. What kind of people will think you are saved, but they really lost? Matthew 7:21-24
_________________________________________________________________
These people are Christians. They call Jesus Lord. They even do miracles in His name! But never developed "love of truth." Were "religious", but never bothered to seek the will of Christ, and if they did, they assumed that their good works and miracles set the seal of approval of God in their lives, obey or not its word. "Why call me Lord, Lord and not do what I say? "(Luke 6:46). This is an excellent question for ourselves.
2. How can a person be sure he knows the will of God? John 7:17 "And whosoever __________________________________________, know of the doctrine is of God."
What a promise! If we decide to do the will of God no matter what others do or think, no matter the ridicule or persecution, or if we lose friends, family or life itself, Jesus promises that responsibility will not be fooled. From the other hand, this implies that if we are unwilling to the Lord be one hundred percent, if the lifestyle that asks us not fit with our plans, then we are paving the way for the unpardonable sin. One must first establish that will follow the will of the Lord in every particular as it reveals. You can then claim that wonderful promise.
Jesus said: "He that cometh to me I will never drive away" (John 6:37). The man who accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior by faith, confessing their sins and surrendering completely to the will of God, you know he has not committed the unpardonable sin. If not come to Jesus, should also know that is in grave danger of committing it. Like Jesus' death for all "(Hebrews 2:9). Still, many will not benefit from the death of Christ, not to pay attention to the kind called, persistent movements of the Holy Spirit.
One word. If you have the desire to follow Jesus, yet did not sin against the Holy Ghost, and that this desire itself is the Holy Spirit working in his heart. -------------
