Grieve not the holy Spirit of God - Ephesians 4:30
In a word, the Spirit is grieved by any deviation from the strict and holy walk of a child of God – by any sense of guilt retained upon the conscience – any sin unconfessed, unrepented, and unforsaken – any known defilement of the temple He inhabits – any slight put upon Jesus – any neglect of the atoning blood – any light and trifling deportment – any uncharitable walk towards other Christians – any taking of the judgment seat against them – all these must be grieving to the Holy Spirit of God. Octavius Winslow
