Mark 3:27

Mark 3:27 says, No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.  This is a continuation of Jesus's response to those who accused Him of casting out devils in the name of the Devil. He said no man would attempt to rob a man who was in his own house, especially a strong man, without first binding the man.  When Jesus enters into the house of someone under the power of sin or Satan the author of sin, He will first bind the source of the power of sin.  He certainly would not do this if He were representing Satan or was under his power.  Verse twenty-eight adds, Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: Jesus then said that all sins could be forgiven, even blasphemy against Jesus Himself, except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.  This is crediting the work of the Holy Spirit to some other source.  The work of the Holy Spirit is to first call everyone to salvation, and if anyone is willing to attribute salvation to any other source, thereby being guilty of blasphemy, they cannot be forgiven. Verse twenty-nine continues, But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation  We cannot attribute the works of God to Satan and hope to be saved. Verse thirty concludes, Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.  Jesus said this in response to the religious leaders claim that He had an unclean spirit empowering Him.  We need to be careful that we do not attribute the work of the Holy Spirit to anything else, especially when it comes to His call to salvation.
