Yes, God is a God of love, but there is one sin that he can not ignore, and it can not be forgiven. He did not make all the preparations he did, and send his own Son to die for our sins, to have us credit the work of his Holy Spirit to Satan. Our text today identifies that sin. That sin is exactly what these scribes, mostly Pharisees from Jerusalem, had done. They said that Jesus was acting under Satan, Beelzebub and using his power to cast out demons.
Jesus had received the power of the Holy Spirit when he descended and settled upon him at the time of his baptism in the form of a dove. It was through this power that he cast out demons.
Mark 3:22-30 (King James Version)
22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
27 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.
28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
EVEN COMMON SENSE TELLS US:
Satan is not going to divide his forces to defeat his own purposes. He wills that with the demons, fallen angels, he will be able to fight against Jesus and his angels, and succeed. As a fallen angel, with his forces, he plots through deception, and any other means at his disposal, to oppose Jesus. God reveals in the book of Revelation what will happen to them in the end, but for the time being, Satan is engaged in battle against good., Against every good thing God has given for mankind, Satan has pitted an evil counterfeit.
He has established counterfeit churches by the thousands, a counterfeit baptism that even ignores the meaning of the word in Biblical Greek, demons to inhabit mankind in order to crowd out the Holy Spirit, false religions, books to replace the Bible, music that has the rhythm of paganism, rituals in place of a change of the heart, even money will be replaced by Satan’s mark in the forehead or hand. People are afraid to read Revelation, but that is where the end, of these things, is revealed. Do not be deceived. Read Revelation 14:9-11.

An architect watched a mechanic remove engine parts from his car to get to the valves. A surgeon, waiting for his car to be repaired, walked over to observe the process. After they introduced themselves, they began talking, and the talk turned to their lines of work.
"You know, doctor," said the architect, "I sometimes believe this type of work is as complicated as the work we do."
"Perhaps," the surgeon replied. "But let's see him do it while the engine is running."
