OBSERVATION: verse 17 & 18; A sin or the sin not leading to death is that sin that has been repented of. In Revelation 3:3-5 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. 4 You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Matthew 10:32 says; Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. And Luke 12:8 Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. It isnt my intension to get into a theological expose′, as Im just one who loves God and not a Biblical scholar. There are those who espouse eternal security and others who do not. I take Gods Word as literal in most cases except Revelation which I hold to the idea that John was inspired to write it in a figurative sense because of the persecution the church was beginning to experience at that time. The Christians, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, in that time period would have understood, whereas those who were not born again and without the Holy Spirits guidance, would not have understood.
