4 Vital Truths About the Holy Spirit (1 of 3)
Series: The Spirit-Filled Life

Ephesians 4:30; John 14:15-29
We are living in confusing times, and for many are moving ahead with little hope. In the midst of our confusion, there is God. God loves you so much He gave you Someone to comfort, strengthen, and love you in ways you and I cannot imagine. You have a tremendous ally in the Holy Spirit.
The Bible says if you could go back in time before there was anything made, you'd have God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit. If you peel back everything, there's only the Trinity. The Holy Spirit was there from the very beginning of time. So in the beginning, there were Three in One.
Now, the Bible shows us a progression in the history of redemption with three major divisions where each of the three persons of the Trinity has the spotlight, if you will. Before Jesus' coming, the spotlight was on God, the Father. During the days of Christ's earthly life, you witness the prominence of God, the Son. And since Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father, we see the spotlight on the Holy Spirit. You and I are so blessed to live in a time when we know about all Three working.
You and I are so blessed to live in a time when the Spirit is blowing through our lives to accomplish the Father's will.
Now, in our study of Ephesians, we arrive at this verse: ''And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption'' (Ephesians 4:30).
The Bible tells us we can grieve the Holy Spirit as I might disappoint you. I can grieve the Holy Spirit as I might grieve you. Secondly, we are told that the Spirit seals us until the day of redemption. Yet, I want to step back in this message and get a better handle on the Holy Spirit.
