Sealed by the Spirit
Scripture
KJV
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
ESV
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:30
Poem
Forbid it, Lord, that we
Who from thy hands receive
The Spirit's power to make us free,
Should e'er that Spirit grieve.
O keep our faith alive,
Help us to watch and pray;
Lest, by our carelessness, we drive
The sacred Guest away.
