Read Ephesians 4:30-32
Discover
1. How can we bring sorrow to or grieve the Holy Spirit?
2. Make two lists – on the left, a list of the things God tells us to get rid of and, on the right, the traits to replace them with.
3. How are we to forgive others?
Respond
1. Take some time now to confess anything from the list on the left that your life may be marked by. Tell God you no longer want to live enslaved by those things. Ask for His power to be someone who joins with others in building His kingdom on earth.
2. How does the list on the right demonstrate the life of someone radically transformed by the undeserved grace of God? As a follower of Christ, the Holy Spirit lives in you, transforming you into that person! Spend a few minutes opening yourself up to His transforming work in your life, growing you more into the image of Jesus every day.
