The unforgivable sin, described as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, is the persistent, lifelong, hard-hearted rejection of the Holy Spirit's testimony of Jesus Christ. If you fear you have committed it, that sensitivity is definitive proof that your heart is in fact open to God's grace. Mark 3:28-30 makes clear that any heart reflecting on this question shows a deep sensitivity that is proof of active grace. A hardened soul that has truly committed ultimate apostasy would feel no sorrow or desire for God's forgiveness. Your very concern about this boundary demonstrates that your heart belongs to Him.
