414: Pneumatology - Maintaining the Relationship with the Spirit

Maintaining 

·   Walk not as fools, but as those who are wise;  

·   Take advantage of every moment 

·    Understand the will of the Lord and walk in it [All of these are in Ephesians 5:15-17] 

·     Be filled with the Holy Spirit [already discussed] 

·     Grieving the Spirit through sin (Ephesians 4:30 through 32) 

·      Quenching the Spirit through disobedience [refusing to obey]  (1 Thess. 5:19) 

·      No sinless perfection, so confession of sin is vital (1 John 1:9) 

·      Growing and maturing in Christ (1Thesalonians 4:1-8).
