Blasphemy

Q: I just learned saying God's name in vain is committing blasphemy... and now I'm scared because some people I really care about have said GD. They are all Christians and I believe they've said it on accident when they get hurt. But I'm really worried now cause I don't want them to go to hell :((


A: It is very serious because it is being done against God, but those unsaved naturally do what is rebellious and they are led by the sin nature. They do not have a right grasp on who God is. They are doing it in ignorance. Remember it is a sin that can be forgiven but it def shows their heart core issue. I would recommend sharing the Gospel with them and if they get saved great, if seeds are planted, great, and beyond that they know it is offensive to you and hurts your heart because they are speaking very illy of the one you Love.

As far as professing believers, remember that there are false converts. People come to religion, God or Christianity for reasons other than the one that saves. 

Those who live God would not say those words, as they have been converted by God into a new creation, and have a new heart, a new spirit and love righteousness and the God who saved them. 

If by a slim chance they really are a Christian I would minister to them... meet up with them in a neutral area like at home over some beverages and donuts or buns and then discuss this matter on your heart and concern for the bad witness it brings to the world by them saying that, and ask them to examine themselves to see if they really are saved. You can share this short video  for them at that time to review it, and then have a prayer time for us all to talk with God on either settling salvation or helping you to mature in the faith to live as a godly representation of Christ and Christianity.  

“Let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for edification according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬ ‭
