If a believer willfully denied his Savior, and blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, when he had tasted the sweetness of his life, and already felt the love of God, then this man would intentionally become separated from God, having no forgiveness after that. All sins are forgivable except tenacious disobedience against the gentle drawing of the Holy Spirit, for such obstinacy, which is of the spirit of hell, leads the unbeliever into extremity until he blasphemes against God, his Father, Savior, and Comforter to such an extent that he wishes to destroy him. Thus he who resorts to an enemy and cooperates with him against God condemns himself by himself.
But he who reciprocates God’s faithfulness, and attributes it to God himself, in the midst of persecution and torture, experiences the authority of the Holy Spirit who inspires the harmless with the witness of God’s wisdom, and supports the lowly with the power of Christ. Felix, the Roman ruler became frightened of the bound Paul when the latter announced Christ’s triumph before him. The Holy Bible is overflowing with wonderful testimonies of simple believers as Peter, John, and Stephen, who shook with their testimonies, anointed with the Spirit, the prominent people of their nation who judged them.
You are not a dangerous man led to the king or tribunal. But your school, family, or workshop is like a legislative council, which examines your spirit. So ask your Lord to support your weakness with the Holy Spirit who inspires you with the piercing words based on love and truth in order to win some of those who reject Christ into his salvation that they may believe. Be aware that you are Christ’s representative in this evil world. Your Lord is watching you, and his power continues in you; so pray, speak, and do not keep silent. Your Lord is responsible for you. If you work hard for him he will preserve you, guide you, and favorably sustain you.
