Holy Spirit Truth Day 81
The Holy Spirit witnesses to the truth. A witness is required to speak the truth, thus the witness of the Holy Spirit is truth itself. "And the Spirit is witness, because the Spirit is the truth."1 Blaise Pascal writes, "The serene silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world." The Holy Spirit's witness accompanies our inner spirit in asserting the truth that we are children of God. "It is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God."2
There is a unique sacredness in the Holy Spirit's name such that blasphemy against him alone will not be forgiven. It is the opposite of truth. "But the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven... whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."3 Why this should be is a mystery, but perhaps it is that since the Holy One is our channel to God and brings the truth of God then offence against the Holy One's name causes the means of communication to be broken irreparably. Thus, even the power to communicate is broken and eternal separation from God is caused. To say that the Holy One has an unclean spirit is an eternal sin and contrary to the truth. God, on the other hand, deals with us in the most intimate, gentle and personal way.
