John 12:34 - 41
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
There is one sin unto death. It's not murder, it's not homosexuality, it's not lying.... all things we can do as human God can and will forgive. We shall have to pay the earthly consequences of these actions but God WILL forgive when called upon. But there is ONE sin that God will not/cannot forgive.
Matthew 12:31-32
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
The rejection of the call to salvation by the Holy Spirit. That gentle prodding when turned from shall not be forgiven. God will call on us and convict us and tell us od His Love, But the repeated rejection of that call, the promise of salvation, shall lead to death. Here in this context the death spoken of is spiritual death which we know to be an eternal separation from God in the burning pit of Hell.
We can sin and God will forgive. We must repent from those sins, we must ask forgiveness to maintain our fellowship with our God but when we reject His Son and the sacrifice provided us then there is no chance of forgiveness. This is the sin unto death. This is the one thing God will not allow.
Once again I reiterate that sin can be forgiven but this does not give us licensure to sin, If the saved Christian sins that sin will prick at the conscience. It will bother and fester like a splinter under the skin until we acknowledge and confess it and remove it.
God sent His Son to this world to suffer and die and be a blood sacrifice, the propitiation for our sins so that we do not have to pay. When we turn our backs on that sacrifice we reject the Love and the Payment provided. It's a free gift given to all who would accept. God would rather not see any go to Hell but He is a good and Righteous God. Therefore He must keep His Word and all who do not come to repentance and a saving knowledge of Christ shall be cast into outer darkness as He has said.
John 3:14-18
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Now I have heard some say that we will all make it to heaven one day. Some religions have it as a tenet of their faith. But my Bible clearly states that this is not true. There is a HELL and there is one way out. There is a heaven and there is ONE way in.
John 14:6
King James Version (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus is our Salvation and the only way we can make it to Heaven, Do not turn your back on Him as it is a sin unto death. There is no losing salvation, once saved always saved. However, for the sinner unsaved and unclean there will be no second chance if you die in your sins.
Proverbs 1:20-29
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
God shall come knocking through the Holy Spirit. When we turn away and reject the call we are given over to a reprobate mind. God will leave us to our own devices. That is the worst state imaginable as the heart of man can devise the darkest thing.
Folks, do not resist the call of the Spirit. This may be the last time He calls on you. Answer the call, call on the name of the Lord Jesus and accept His sacrifice today before it is to late. Now is the acceptable day of the Lord. Never assume there will be time later for we know not the hours of our days, for we may be taken out of here in a time unexpected. Call on the name of the Lord Jesus before it is too late.

Romans 1:24-28
King James Version (KJV)
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
