🙏 *Does the Holy Spirit Leave Me When I Sin?* *Short answer:* If you are truly born again, *the Holy Spirit does not leave you when you sin*—but *your fellowship with Him is affected* until you repent. --- 📖 *Biblical Understanding* 1. *The Holy Spirit is a seal of your salvation* > *“When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit.”* > — *Ephesians 1:13* This seal is not temporary. It is God's mark of ownership, assurance, and commitment to you. --- 2. *Sin grieves the Holy Spirit, but doesn't drive Him away* > *“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”* > — *Ephesians 4:30* When we sin, we *hurt our fellowship* with the Holy Spirit, but He doesn’t abandon us. Instead, He convicts us gently, drawing us back to repentance and restoration. --- 3. *God is patient, not quick to abandon* > *“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”* > — *1 John 1:9* He wants restoration, not rejection. --- 💡 Think of it like this:
