What is the unforgivable sin?
Published Reviewed
Jesus called blasphemy against the Holy Spirit unforgivable (Matthew 12:31-32). In context, the Pharisees attributed Jesus' Spirit-empowered works to Satan. It's persistent, final rejection of the Spirit's testimony about Christ—not a one-time sin but hardened unbelief. If you're worried you've committed it, you likely haven't.
Why this answer? It starts with Matthew 12:31, then cross-checks Mark 3:28-30 and Hebrews 6:4-6 so the summary stays anchored in Scripture.
