God Grieves When We Refuse to Walk in the Light ㅡ

 “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30)

When the Lord presents evidence upon evidence and gives light upon light, why is it that souls hesitate to walk in the light?

By every hesitation and delay, we place ourselves where it is more and more difficult for us to accept the light of heaven, and at last it seems impossible to be impressed by admonitions and warnings.

The sinner says, more and more easily, “Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee” (Acts 24:25)....

The person who is drawn again and again by his Redeemer, and who slights the warnings given, yields not to his convictions to repent, and heeds not when he is exhorted to seek pardon and grace, is in a perilous position.

Jesus is drawing him, the Spirit is exerting His power upon him, urging him to surrender his will to the will of God; and when this invitation is unheeded, the Spirit is grieved away.
