Grieving the Holy Spirit

By John Wesley

Grieving the Holy Spirit.—A perfect Christian can grieve the Holy Spirit of God: 1. By such conversation as is not profitable to the use of edifying, nor apt to minister grace to the hearer. 2. By relapsing into bitterness or want of kindness. 3. By wrath, lasting displeasure, or want of tender-heartedness. 4. By anger, however soon over; want of instantly forgiving one another. 5. By clamor, or brawling, loud, harsh, rough speaking. 6. By evil speaking, whispering, tale-bearing, or needlessly mentioning the fault of an absent person, though in ever so soft a manner.—John Wesley.
