“Don’t Let Sin Issues Go to Waste!”mourn

This final episode centers on the process of sanctification, the ongoing experience of the Holy Spirit conforming believers into the image of Christ. Once a believer becomes a temple of the Holy Spirit, the Indwelling Spirit has much to say about our living conditions. And while the Paraclete comforts us, reminding us of our secure position in Christ as heirs of Christ, He also makes us miserable and anxious over unconfessed sin, driving us back to Christ as the source of grace. He works "godly sorrow that leads to repentance." (2 Corinthians 7:10) The episode highlights the Holy Spirit's confrontation with David over his sin in Psalm 32, leading to his restoration where he is "surrounded by songs of deliverance." The episode closes with the admonition to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in our struggles with sin, as this is paradoxically the means by which we draw closer to God and receive His comforting grace.
