Are you bringing sorrow to the Holy Spirit?????

Good morning!!! Quite a storm in Texas last night. Winds up to 100 mph and tornadoes or scud's. Scud's are like a tornado, just not as smooth. How is your life going???? Do you bring sorrow to your heavenly family??
Ephesians 4:30 "AND DO NOT BRING SORROW TO GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT BY THE WAY YOU LIVE. REMEMBER, HE HAS IDENTIFIED YOU AS HIS OWN, GUARANTEEING THAT YOU WILL BE SAVED ON THE DAY OF REDEMPTION."

The Holy Spirit within us is a guarantee that we belong to God. Our lives before and after Christ.

BEFORE AFTER
Dead because of sin....................Made alive with Christ
Under God's anger......................Show God's mercy and given salvation
Followed the ways of the world.........Stand for Christ and truth
God's enemies..........................God's children
Enslaved to the devil.................Free in Christ to love & sit with him
Followed our evil thoughts and desires....Raised up with Christ to glory

The Holy Spirit is God's guarantee that we belong to him and that he will do what he has promised. The Holy Spirit is like a down payment, a deposit, a validating signature on the contract. The Holy Spirit in us shows: our faith is real; we are God's children; our eternal life is secured.

Thank you for reading. Praise God in all things. How has God blessed you?? I have sooooo much......life, health, material goods, God given job, and on and on. So many things to be thankful for. Love you all!!!!

In Christ's Love an Grace
