Grieving the Holy Spirit brings great calamity to a person. Being led by the Spirit of God shows we are sons of God (Rom. 8:14).

Why did God become an enemy of Israel?
I shall make mention of the loving kindnesses of the LORD, the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has granted us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has granted them according to His compassion And according to the abundance of His loving kindnesses. For He said, "Surely, they are My people, Sons who will not deal falsely." So He became their Savior. In all their affliction, He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; In His love and in His mercy, He redeemed them, and He lifted them and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them (Isa 63:7-10).

Wow! Because Israel rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, God turned Himself into their enemy. What do we learn? Do NOT grieve the Holy Spirit!
