Ephesians 4:30
Ephesians 4:30
And grieve not the Holy Ghost of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
The warning not to grieve the Holy Spirit serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a heart of obedience to God. The Spirit seals us for the day of redemption, ensuring our salvation and guiding us toward sanctification. Grieving the Holy Spirit is a sign of rejecting His work in our lives, and it hinders our spiritual growth and relationship with God. The verse calls believers to be mindful of how we live, to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. When we live according to the Spirit, we are aligned with God’s will, and His peace dwells in us. This call to sanctification is not just about avoiding sin, but about embracing the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives, allowing Him to transform us into the image of Christ.

Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.

Quench not the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
