The unpardonable sin is rejecting the truth about Christ. It is rejecting, completely and finally, the witness of the Holy Spirit [in our human spirit and soul], which declares that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who alone can save us from our sins.

It is not how much of the Spirit we have, but how much the Spirit has of us. He is in us in all His fullness, whether we see this exhibited in our lives or not. When we receive Christ as Savior and Lord, you and I receive Him in full, not just in part. Then as we come to understand more and more of Christ’s lordship, we surrender and yield more and more.

In my book, Nerve Endings of the Soul: Interaction between the Mind of God and the Mind of Man through Neural Synaptic Networks, concordance is discussed between the process of sanctification and that of synaptic plasticity by which patterns of behavior and thought are strengthened over time.

…God places a seal on us when we receive Christ. And that seal is a person - the Holy Spirit.

“The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they might not see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” (2 Cor. 4:4). Only the Holy Spirit can open our eyes. Only He can convict us of the depth of our sin, and only He can convince us of the truth of the Gospel. . . . the Holy Spirit is called “the Spirit of truth” in John 14:17.

…the operations of the Holy Spirit among men in the three periods of human history may be defined by three words: “upon,” “with,” “in.” In the Old Testament He came upon selected persons and remained for a season (Judg. 14:19). In the Gospels He is represented as dwelling with the disciples in the person of Christ (John 14:17). From the second chapter of Acts onward he is spoken of as being in the people of God (1 Cor. 6:19).

…consider Romans 8:10 (KJV), which says, “If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin.” Or consider Galatians 2:20, “Christ lives in me.” It is clear in these verses that if the Spirit is in us, then Christ is in us. Christ dwells in our hearts by faith. But the Holy Spirit is the person of the Trinity who actually dwells in us, having been sent by the Son who has gone away but who will come again in person when we shall literally see Him.

Pentecost in the New Testament marked the commencement of the present age of the Holy Spirit. Believers are under the guidance even as the disciples of Jesus were under Him. From heaven Jesus still exercises lordship over us, but, not being physically with us now, He transmits his directions by means of the Holy Spirit who makes Christ real to us. Since Pentecost the Holy Spirit is the link between the first and second advents of Jesus. He applies the work of Jesus Christ to men in this age….

Pentecost . . . assures us that the Spirit of God has come to achieve his certain purposes in the world, in the Church, and in the believer. . . . The advent of the Holy Spirit fulfilled Christ’s promise; and it also testified that God’s righteousness had been vindicated. The age of the Holy Spirit, which could not commence until Jesus was glorified, had now begun.

…God both blesses and curses, delivers and punishes. The Old Testament often attributes the salvation of Israel to the Spirit of God. He strove with people before the flood (Gen 6:3). I believe that He is striving with people today exactly as He did before the flood. Jesus said, “And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it shall be also in the days of the Son of Man” (Luke 17:26). The same sick perversions, moral decay, and erosions are prevalent today. The Holy Spirit is mightily striving but the vast majority of the human race will not listen.

At the beginning of this series of blogs (The Holy Spirit) it was shared that the most important issue in theology in our time is the Holy Spirit, and there is great ignorance about the living and personal Holy Spirit in the Church. My books describe the dual interaction between the Holy Spirit and the spirit and soul of Man through the neural synaptic networks of the human brain. The Holy Spirit is living and personal and is available to commune with us in repentance to provide Counsel.

Genesis 2:7 also says that the Lord God “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” … clearly man owes his very life to God according to this passage. And the breath of God that started man on his earthly journey was, in fact, the Holy Spirit, as Job 33:4 tells us. (The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.)

It is pointed out in my second book, The Boundless Love of God: A Holy Spirit Story, that the Fall of Adam accounted for the loss of indwelling communion between the Holy Spirit and the spirit and soul of Adam since God does not abide with sin. But by the grace and boundless love of God for mankind through the sin sacrifice of HIs Son, Jesus Christ, the indwelling has been restored to those who are in repentance and choose to follow the Counsel of the Holy Spirit sent as promised by the resurrected and living Jesus Christ.
