And in Matthew 12:32 Jesus states that it would not be forgiven in this/that age nor the one coming.
right
I would listen to Jesus then
8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8
those who do not walk after their flesh, that is who try to abide in the true Vine by their own strength and understanding, but allow the Spirit of God to lead them are those who are saved
there is no salvation without the Holy Spirit. if you reject the Holy Spirit your heart becomes harder and harder
Saul is interesting because he was literally forced to his knees. This, is the Lion of Judah. This, is the risen Christ, This is God and there is no hiding from Him. all hearts are open to Him
and in the middle of all of that, there is grace and mercy and forgiveness. such a beautiful story and should give everyone hope
same with Peter. he denied Jesus 3 times and 3 times the risen Jesus asked Peter if Peter loved Him...Peter was cut to his heart and responded 'you know I love you!' and that is the heart we bring to God also
we bring the heart of love that is still weak and fearful and He gives us His Spirit so that we have the strength in Him to live for Him, testify of Him and His Spirit, the very Spirit of God, lives in us and assures us that we belong to Him!
God demands of us things we cannot give and then gives us the means by which to do it
