How do we know that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is serious?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus explicitly states that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, highlighting its grave nature.

Jesus made it clear that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the one sin that leads to eternal condemnation. Unlike other sins, which can be forgiven, this particular transgression reflects a complete rejection of God's grace and truth. When individuals, like the Pharisees, attribute the work of the Holy Spirit to demonic forces, they not only deny the power of God but also display a deep-seated resistance to His saving grace. This seriousness stems from the nature of the sin itself, which is a conscious and willful repudiation of the divine witness to Christ and His gospel. The implications of this rejection are dire, indicating that those who commit this act stand unrepentant and without hope.
