The Third Person:
“Don’t quench or grieve the Spirit“
Ephesians 5:25-32
1 Thessalonians 5:12-22

In our ongoing in-depth look at the Holy Spirit we learn that Godliness and openness to the Spirit’s work, including willingness to repent, helps us not to grieve or quench Him.

Some churches talk about the Holy Spirit all the time, while others rarely mention him. For many Christians, the very idea of the Holy Spirit leaves us feeling mystified and confused, so we fail to experience the impact he should have on our lives. It isn’t supposed to be this way. The Bible says the Holy Spirit is a gracious gift who fills us and leads us. He regenerates our hearts, taking us from death to life. He dwells inside the heart of every believer, bringing conviction of sin, guidance in prayer, and life transformation. He is the third person of the Trinity, and we must remember, worship, and joyfully obey him.
