The Unpardonable Sin
Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit
The Bible makes it very, very clear. God the Father has sent His one and only Son Jesus Christ down to our earth to physically die on a cross in order to give all men and all women total forgiveness and total remission for all of their sins – which includes all past, present, and future sins that we will ever commit.
This gift of eternal salvation is available to every single person who will accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. The Bible makes it very clear that “whoever” calls upon the name of the Lord for eternal salvation will be saved from their sins if they are willing to accept Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death on the cross.
However, in 3 specific verses from Scripture, Jesus makes a very serious bone chilling statement. He says that the only sin that cannot be forgiven through the Blood that He has already shed for all of us is a direct blaspheming against the Holy Spirit.

I’m unclear what point you are trying to make with what seems like a copy/paste from some source.

Do you think that our being forgiven removes our sinful nature, so that we can declare ourselves righteous? Paul was pretty clear that instead, grace imparts Christ’s righteousness to us. God counts us as righteous, not because we are righteous, but because ours sins are covered by Christ’s blood. Yet, even so, we still all sin and fall short of the glory of God.

Note this important passage from Romans 3 which speaks of grace and righteousness. Each time that “righteousness” is mentioned, it is God’s righteousness that is spoken of, not that of believers:

“21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”
