A: Only one sin that can’t be forgiven is on God’s list—and that is the sin of rejecting Him and refusing His offer of forgiveness and new life in Jesus Christ. This alone is the unforgivable sin, because it means we are saying that the Holy Spirit’s witness about Jesus is a lie (see Luke 12:10 ).

That—and that alone—is the unforgivable sin. Don’t carry your burden of sin and guilt any longer but hand it over to Christ and trust Him to take it. Confess your sins to Him, and trust Him to forgive and save you. And He will, because God loves you and wants you to be His child forever.
What if the Holy Spirit convicts you of your sins and points you to Christ’s forgiveness—but you turn your back on His witness and (in effect) call Him a liar? That—and that alone—is the unforgivable sin.
While there is an unforgivable sin, it is not one that a true believer in Jesus Christ can commit. The one sin which God cannot forgive is mentioned in Mark 3:28-30 and Matthew 12:31-32. Jesus had been performing miracles, including driving demons out of people by the power of the Holy Spirit.
This is why I urge you to repent of your sins and turn to Christ. He has bridged the gap between us and God, and now He offers us God’s free gift of forgiveness and new life. The Bible says, “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).
The unpardonable sin involves the total and irrevocable rejection of Jesus Christ. Stephen, the first martyr, called out to those who were stiff-necked, always resisting the Holy Spirit (Acts 7:51). As long as the Spirit of God strives with a person, he or she has not committed the unpardonable sin.
