Good day believers,
The teaching of Brother Early gave us a profound exposition. He took the scripture from First John 5 vs 16, which told us about the nature of sin as being described in the Bible. Therefore, his distinction between sins that result to death and one that does not result to death invites us to think deep on our action, intentions, thoughts, and the grace that have been made available to us as believers.
This passage is dwelling on that all things also carry the same weights. Also those committed unintentionally due to the temptation and circumstances of humans can be forgiven through prayer and repentance. This shows God’s message in its full form, allowing us to seek life for both our brothers and our sisters in the faith who stumble but are not rejected completely.
Other, the sin unto death is more severe, which is thought to be deliberate by the person who committed the same, the all-repentant rejection of God’s truth, such kind of horrible blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
The teachings of Brother Early reminded that we humans are very weak and are prone to sin over throughout our lifetime. Sometimes we commit unintentional sins, and these things are different from the ones that are unpardonable.
This decision comforts us when we are sober. This assures us that God’s forgiveness, God’s forgiveness for our shortcomings, by wanting us against hiding our hearts against the Holy Spirit.
So as I want to reflect here, being heard by the call to intercede for others, if we find our brother around us is seen unintentionally, we are all as believers to keep so that the Holy Spirit will touch him or her to change. We have to trust God that he can restore life to the one who does not have life.
Yet, for those who are committed to death, although prayer might not be of maximum help to the person at the moment, but underscoring the gravity of willful rebellion.
So, these teachings challenge us to examine our own lives, to seek repentance for the sin we have committed unintentionally and not engage in the sin intentionally, but extending grace to everyone, trusting in the boundless mercy of God.
