“If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.”
1 John 5:16 KJV
John sees this, “If anyone observes a fellow believer habitually sinning in a way that doesn’t lead to death, you should keep interceding in prayer that God will give that person life. Now, there is a sin that leads to death, and I’m not encouraging you to pray for those who commit it.” If the sinning is persisted in, it leads to death - the unforgivable sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, or the sin that brings death in taking communion “unworthily”, or lying to the Holy Spirit. John also speaks about the gross apostasy of those who turn away from the truth and depart from fellowship with believers and follow the teaching of antichrists. That is why it is important to preach the Gospel and disciple people in their personal relationship with the Lord Jesus, based on the written Word of God and in the power and leading of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “All authority of the universe has been given to Me. Now wherever you go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I Am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.” Let’s believe and obey our Lord Jesus. Amen!
