One Character of such a person is, that he has an implacable Hatred of the Holy Lord Jesus Christ. Heb. •. 6. They can't be renewed by Repentance, for they have Crucified the Son of God afresh. They that have committed the Unpardonable sin, if it were possible for them to do it, they would Crucify the Son of God again. They contemn the Doctrine of Salvation by the Blood of Christ. They trample under foot the Son of God, and count the Blood of the Covenant an unholy thing. Heb. 10. 29.
Again, Such as have been guilty of this sin are bitter Persecutors of those that have the image of God ⟨p. 100⟩appearing in them. It has been thought by Divines, that Saul was guilty of the great Transgression. Now he had a most bitter hatred of those that did in a peculiar manner belong to God. 1 Sam. 22. 17. Slay the Priests of the Lord. They are the Lords Priests therefore Slay them. He therein showed his spite against God, who had preferred David above him. So it is with those that commit the Unpardonable sin. They can't come at God, and therefore will show all the spite they can against his Faithful Servants.
