Do Not Grieve the Holy Spirit of God

Ephesians 4:29-32  (ID: 3238)

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit indicates that a person has been sealed, forgiven, and redeemed in Christ. Because of this great work, Christians should not grieve the Holy Spirit. Alistair Begg emphasizes the importance of forsaking unrighteousness and instead emulating Christ in His kindness and forgiveness. Because Christ saved us from sin to do good works, the Christian church should be overflowing with kindness toward each another and toward the world.

29Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
