In a recent edition of Evangelical Times, my husband Stuart wrote an article on the ‘unpardonable sin’. I thought it might be helpful to share my personal testimony of how, 50 years ago, I was convinced that I was guilty of this sin and therefore believed I had no hope.
I had come to know the Lord in a wonderful way when I was 14 years of age. I was the youngest of five children, and one evening I overheard my oldest brother asking another of my brothers, ‘Have you known the felt forgiveness of sin?’ I felt as if this question was directed to me, and I longed to understand what he meant.
When nobody was watching, I would quickly take into my room one of my father’s Matthew Henry commentaries and search for answers. I became very aware of my sinfulness and longed to know I could be forgiven.
