We cannot imagine any condition in life which would lead us to ever trample on Jesus, mock the cross, insult the blood of the covenant and insult the Holy Spirit. That would be the vilest godless state of our existence, a place we will avoid with every ounce of strength we have. No matter how bad the sin, how craven we become, we shall never sink to such a low state as that.
But withholding our forgiveness of others will get us there. The blood covenant is for the forgiveness of sins. When our right to be offended takes precedence over honoring our side of the covenant we do this very horrible thing and continue to feel justified simply because no one knows how badly we hurt. To withhold forgiveness is exactly to mock Christ, step upon Him, mock the Holy Spirit and insult the glory of God.
27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 26:27-28
How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? Hebrews 10:29 NIV
Never go to this place. This is the worst form of pride which leads to our destruction.
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6: 14-15.
Fast forgive and live.
