What does the Bible say about the sin unto death?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible refers to a sin unto death as a rejection of Christ, specifically blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, for which there is no forgiveness.

In 1 John 5:16-17, the Apostle John discusses the concept of a sin that leads to death, which is often understood to be the sin of apostasy — a willful, knowing denial of Jesus Christ after having received a profound understanding of His person and work. This type of sin is grave because it reflects a full rejection of the gospel that cannot be undone or repented from. As such, John advises believers not to pray for those who commit this sin, indicating its irreversible nature and the absence of grace for those who have deemed the gospel as false after such revelation.
