In conclusion we would say that the unpardonable sin is not to be regarded as some particular sin, singled out from all others, as though it were some form of murder, lying, or stealing, more heinous than the rest. But it lies in the nature of the sin committed, as affecting the relationship with the Holy Spirit. A person may have committed a whole list of the blackest crimes, and yet not have committed the unpardonable sin; or vice versa, a person may have a good standing in point of morality, and yet have blasphemed the Spirit, and severed himself from all possibility of repentance. We would say to every despairing soul seeking salvation, that if you are capable of having the least godly sorrow on account of your sin, or a real, inward desire to serve God, you can rest assured that you have not committed the unpardonable sin. If you feel the Spirit of God telling you that you ought to be saved, then salvation is for you. The unpardonable sin deprives a person of the desire to will to love and serve God and obey the truth. So in the language of Scripture we continue to hold out the blessed invitation—“Whosoever _will_, let him take the water of life freely.” Amen. The Conscience. When we behold the mechanism of man, we are made to exclaim with the Psalmist, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” Man is so constituted as to experience a feeling of joy when a desired object is obtained, or a feeling of disappointment if it is not obtained. When danger approaches he intuitively seeks to avert it, and experiences a feeling of gladness if he succeeds. Among the elements of man’s moral nature the highest and most important, perhaps, is the conscience. Conscience is a principle which God has placed in man’s moral being to teach him what is right and what is wrong. Some have said that conscience is the “voice of God in the soul.” It is a voice that is inaudible to the ear, but we feel it speaking in us, saying, “This action is right,” or, “That action is wrong.” We believe that Solomon was referring to the conscience when he said, “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.” Prov. 20:27.
