The Only Sin That God Cannot Forgive Is the Sin of Rejecting His Only Son Jesus Christ!

There is one sin that stands outside the reach of God’s forgiveness: The settled, final rejection of His only Son, Jesus Christ. God delights to forgive every other failure, every dark deed, every rebellious thought. The Blood of Jesus is sufficient for the worst of us. Yet the one who persistently refuses the Son places himself beyond the only door God has opened.

Scripture is clear. “God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. There is no eternal doom awaiting those who trust Him to save them. But those who don’t trust Him have already been tried and condemned for not believing in the only Son of God” (John 3:16-18, TLB). The condemnation is not arbitrary; it is the natural outcome of refusing the one remedy God provided.

Jesus Himself declared, “I am the Way—yes, and the Truth and the Life. No one can get to the Father except by means of Me” (John 14:6, TLB).

Peter echoed the same exclusive claim: “There is salvation in no One else! Under all heaven there is no other name for men to call upon to save them” (Acts 4:12, TLB).

To reject the Son is to reject the Father Who sent Him. It is to call the Holy Spirit a liar when He testifies that Jesus is the Christ. That is the unpardonable posture—not a single momentary doubt, but a hardened, lifelong refusal to receive the gift of God’s only Son.

God’s heart is not closed. He stands ready to forgive every sinner who turns. The Cross is still open. The invitation still stands. But the man or woman who dies having deliberately pushed away the only Son leaves God with no other means of forgiveness. There is no second plan. There is only Jesus.

Therefore the urgent call remains: Receive the Son while there is still time. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. To reject Him is to become the only “son” for whom even the Father’s infinite mercy has no remaining provision. Choose life. Choose the Son!

Amen!

Let us Praise Him Daily!

A good way to learn to Praise God is to memorize the first 6 Verses of Psalms 148:

1 Praise the Lord, O heavens! Praise Him from the skies!

²Praise Him, all His angels, all the armies of heaven.

³Praise Him, sun and moon and all you twinkling stars.

⁴Praise Him, skies above. Praise Him, vapors high above the clouds.

⁵Let everything He has made give praise to Him. For He issued His command, and they came into being;

^{6 H}e established them forever and forever. His orders will never be revoked.

PLEASE read the last 6 Chapters of Psalms: 145-150 so that you will learn how to Praise God like David did!

Chapter 15 in Proverbs for today: (AUGUST 15 (MT) (ESV)

15 A soft answer turns away wrath,
    but a harsh word stirs up anger.
²The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
    but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
³The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
    keeping watch on the evil and the good.
⁴A gentle^[a] tongue is a tree of life,
    but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
⁵A fool despises his father’s instruction,
    but whoever heeds reproof is prudent.
⁶In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,
    but trouble befalls the income of the wicked.
⁷The lips of the wise spread knowledge;
    not so the hearts of fools.^[b]
⁸The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
    but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.
⁹The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
    but he loves him who pursues righteousness.
¹⁰There is severe discipline for him who forsakes the way;
    whoever hates reproof will die.
¹¹Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord;
    how much more the hearts of the children of man!
¹²A scoffer does not like to be reproved;
    he will not go to the wise.
¹³A glad heart makes a cheerful face,
    but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed.
¹⁴The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
    but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
¹⁵All the days of the afflicted are evil,
    but the cheerful of heart has a continual feast.
¹⁶Better is a little with the fear of the Lord
    than great treasure and trouble with it.
¹⁷Better is a dinner of herbs where love is
    than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
¹⁸A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
    but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.
¹⁹The way of a sluggard is like a hedge of thorns,
    but the path of the upright is a level highway.
²⁰A wise son makes a glad father,
    but a foolish man despises his mother.
²¹Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense,
    but a man of understanding walks straight ahead.
²²Without counsel plans fail,
    but with many advisers they succeed.
²³To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,
    and a word in season, how good it is!
²⁴The path of life leads upward for the prudent,
    that he may turn away from Sheol beneath.
²⁵The Lord tears down the house of the proud
    but maintains the widow’s boundaries.
²⁶The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
    but gracious words are pure.
²⁷Whoever is greedy for unjust gain troubles his own household,
    but he who hates bribes will live.
²⁸The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,
    but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
²⁹The Lord is far from the wicked,
    but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
³⁰The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
    and good news refreshes^[c] the bones.
³¹The ear that listens to life-giving reproof
    will dwell among the wise.
³²Whoever ignores instruction despises himself,
    but he who listens to reproof gains intelligence.
³³The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,
    and humility comes before honor.

CHAPTER 15 JEREMIAH for today: (AUGUST 15 (LN) (ESV)

15 Then the Lord said to me, ^p“Though ^qMoses ^rand Samuel ^sstood before me, yet my heart would not turn toward this people. Send them out of my sight, and let them go! 2 And when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord:

 t“‘Those who are for pestilence, to pestilence,
 and those who are for the sword, to the sword;
 those who are for famine, to famine,
 and those who are for captivity, to captivity.’

3 ^uI will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the Lord: the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, and ^vthe birds of the air ^wand the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. 4 ^xAnd I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what ^yManasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.

5  z“Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,
 zor who will grieve for you?
 Who will turn aside
 to ask about your welfare?
6  aYou have rejected me, declares the Lord;
 byou keep going backward,
 so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you—
 cI am weary of relenting.
7  dI have winnowed them with ea winnowing fork
 in the gates of the land;
 I have bereaved them; I have destroyed my people;
 fthey did not turn from their ways.
8  I have made their widows more in number
 than gthe sand of the seas;
 I have brought against the mothers of young men
 a destroyer at noonday;
 I have made anguish and terror
 fall upon them suddenly.
9  hShe who bore seven has grown feeble;
 ishe has fainted away;
 jher sun went down while it was yet day;
 she has been shamed and disgraced.
 And the rest of them I will give to the sword
 before their enemies,
 declares the Lord.”

Jeremiah’s Complaint

10 ^kWoe is me, my mother, that you bore me, a man of strife and contention to the whole land! ^lI have not lent, nor have I borrowed, yet all of them curse me. 11 The Lord said, “Have I not¹ set you free for their good? Have I not pleaded for you before the enemy in the time of trouble and in the time of distress? 12 Can one break iron, iron ^mfrom the north, and bronze?

13 ⁿ“Your wealth and your treasures I will give as ^ospoil, without price, for all your sins, throughout all your territory. 14 I will make you serve your enemies ^pin a land that you do not know, ^qfor in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever.”

15  rO Lord, you know;
 sremember me and visit me,
 stand take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
 In your forbearance take me not away;
 uknow that vfor your sake I bear reproach.
16  Your words were found, wand I ate them,
 and xyour words became to me a joy
 and the delight of my heart,
 yfor I am called by your name,
 O Lord, God of hosts.
17  zI did not sit in the company of revelers,
 nor did I rejoice;
 aI sat alone, because your hand was upon me,
 for you had filled me with indignation.
18  Why is my pain unceasing,
 bmy wound incurable,
 refusing to be healed?
 Will you be to me clike a deceitful brook,
 like waters that fail?

19  Therefore thus says the Lord:
 d“If you return, I will restore you,
 and you shall estand before me.
 If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless,
 you shall be as my mouth.
 They shall turn to you,
 but you shall not turn to them.
20  fAnd I will make you to this people
 a fortified wall of bronze;
 they will fight against you,
 gbut they shall not prevail over you,
 hfor I am with you
 to save you and deliver you,
 declares the Lord.
21  gI will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,
 and redeem you from the grasp of ithe ruthless.”

Revelation 10

for today: (AUGUST 15 (NN) ESV)

10 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. ²He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, ³and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded. ⁴And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” ⁵And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven ⁶and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, ⁷but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.

⁸Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” ⁹So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” ¹⁰And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter. ¹¹And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”
