"The many who are suffering with fear that they have committed the unpardonable sin have done no such thing.
God by his prophet speaks to these trembling souls who are well nigh bereft of their reason, in the following words of comfort:
Isaiah 1
18 Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Shall we say that the crimson sin is the violation of the sixth commandment? And can the stain of this terrible crime be washed from the garments of the sinner by the blood of Christ? It is possible; but he who attributes the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan can find no pardon.
Once, sinless man could walk and talk with God and Christ and angels
in Eden.
He was then safe and happy in the hands of the living God.
---But
when sin separated him from God he needed a mediator.
*Thank Heaven that
the sinner is now in the hands of Christ.
But when mercy’s hour shall be past, and Christ shall no longer plead
for him, then he will be in the hands of the living God to receive the
righteous retribution of all his unpardoned sins; then, oh! then, it
will be fearful to be in the hands of the living God."
James White
