What is the Sin Unto Death?

What is the Sin Unto Death?


1 John 5:16-18 English Standard Version 16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death. 18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.




Isaiah 59:2 English Standard Version 2 but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear

NOTE: Sin results in separation.



James 1:15 English Standard Version 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

NOTE: Sin results in Spiritual / Covenantal death and sometimes to Physical death.



James 2:10 English Standard Version 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.

NOTE: No specific sin mentioned. You break one law you are guilty of all of them.



1 John 1:9 English Standard Version 9 IF WE CONFESS our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness

NOTE:  As long as the CONFESSION to Christ is met, He will cleanse us from ALL, not some of our unrighteousness. In the Greek, there is a 3 point emphasis on this.



Acts 8:22 English Standard Version 22 REPENT therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, IF POSSIBLE, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.

NOTE:  Peter says to repent and 1 John 1:9 says to confess. These both go hand in hand. When you repent you are confessing your sin to God. All and any sin are forgiven as long as these conditions are met.



Mark 3:28-29 English Standard Version 28 “Truly, I say to you, ALL sins will be forgiven the children of man, and WHATEVER blasphemies they utter (AS LONG AS THE CONDITIONS OF REPENTANCE AND CONFESSION ARE MET) 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”—



Acts 4:12 English Standard Version 12 And there is salvation in NO ONE ELSE, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

NOTE: The believer is able to confesses their sin to the Holy Spirit. The non-believer doesn’t think they need Christ/the Holy Spirit. Repentance is a turning away from sin to God.



1 Timothy 1:12-14 English Standard Version 12 I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, 13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14 and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.



Acts 8:3 English Standard Version 3 But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.



Acts 26:9 English Standard Version 9 “I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

NOTE: Paul admitted to blaspheme, yet God was merciful to him.



Jeremiah 7:16-17 English Standard Version 16 “As for you, do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you. 17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

NOTE: God said to Jeremiah “do not pray for them.” The people of Jerusalem and Judah refused to repent of their sin “Sin unto Death.” This what appears to be described in 1 John 5:17. We are not called to ask God to forgive the unrepenter’s sin. However, we are called that it would be God’s will that the Lord will produce a heart of repentance in that person-Acts 8:22.



In conclusion, all sins are forgivable as long as you repent and confess your sins to God.
