only by the Spirit.
and that happens when God says, feed this person, and you do it so it is GOD feeding that person, not you.
but to say No, to that, is Grieving the Holy Spirit.
God cannot use you.
so, you will never be bearing fruit.
why keep you then, when God says He cuts those kinds of branches off?
You are taking a verse out of context that does not belong to the body of Christ. The body of Christ is sealed unto the day of redemption.
how so, Grieving the Spirit of God is in same Verse as the Seal.
you just choose to ignore the warning.
because you choose something, why should i trust you with my Salvation?
aren't you also a kjv only thumper, like it outranks the original Hebrew and original Greek?
as if anyone should take your advice

If we only had the original Hebrew and Greek....
i do, i am Jewish, the Sofers have kept perfect record since God instructed the Sofers to keep it.If we only had the original Hebrew and Greek....
people act like the Torah/Tanakh in Temple was destroyed in the Temple with it.
but forget, the same Torah/Tanakh in the Temple, is the same that was in ALL of the Synagogues that survived.
but the WORDS live FOREVER!The "original" ten commandments were destroyed by Moses.
The "original" ten commandments were destroyed by Moses.
They were re-transcribed on Yom Kippur.
but the point is we know Erasmus, author, of the Textus Receptus, wrote his process.
he begins with the 10th Century, which is LATIN [not Greek, translated Greek]
so, it's impossible the kjv has anything original attached to it.
The Spirit doesn't produce fruit in us based on our responses to His prompting. He simply does it sovereignly. This is the expression of what is found in Philippians 2:13...it is God who is at work in you,willing and doing of His good pleasure...
You are right that we can respond cooperatively or resist, and that is why the admonition is given in the previous verse...work out your own salvation in fear and trembling, for...
so, they just call it, "FRUIT of the SPIRIT," because it sounds good.
interesting!
we know God is working in us. He does that through His Spirit. and it only grows if you comply. so, it is actually a direct result of being obedient, which Grieving, is the direct opposite.
no one Saved this past 2 minutes has the growth of the Spirit in them.
and no one gets the growth of the Spirit if they do not submit to it.
what is submitting?
obeying!

through multiple translations.
the Hebrew says by the Loftiness [which is overwhelming power] God did things.
the kjv says, the power of God is like a UNICORN.
nowhere, to even being close, to the same!
2 completely different realms and description of God's true Power.
I think we need to look and see who Paul was talking to here. This was a letter written to the Ephesians who were visited by Apostles and Disciples after the crucifixion. How many believe they are sealed today but actually might not be sealed, yet?
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
