Have you ever began something and a small voice within you says, “Don’t do it,” but even though you may have hesitated, you went ahead anyway? Why do we do that? That small voice within you is the Holy Spirit speaking through your conscience warning you, guiding you. Later when we pay the penalty for our actions, we get it. Remorse and regret sets in. We cry, please create in me a new heart. Help me not to sin against you oh God.
The Bible says, “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.“ (Ephesians 4:30)
The grace and mercy of God, the safe harbor of Lord Jesus, and the precious fellowship of the Holy Spirit, are gifts beyond compare. We didn’t earn them. We didn’t deserve them. We can’t even explain them. And yet there they are, with love and forgiveness. So don’t do it.
