Holy Spirit's grief

"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice." Ephesians 4.30-31

No member of a body is capable of hurting the other. Rather, the members of a body cooperate with each other harmoniously to please the head. So must be the Church of the Lord Jesus. All that comprise it must work together for the edification of the Church, whose Head is Jesus. If there is a strange body among the members, there will be conflict with others. Sooner or later, the foreign element will be expelled.

CORRUPT WORDS

"Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers."
     Ephesians 4.29
When your life is transformed, your words are for edification and to bless others. They would never be used to plant hatred or discord. Those who are born of the Spirit are Spirit, speak like the Spirit and act like the Spirit of God.

Edification

"We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification." Romans 15: 1,2

Those who are born of God are led by the Spirit. And so they understand the suffering and weaknesses of others. In patience, they teach them how to fight and overcome by faith.
