Resist is the word applied to the unconverted. Grieve is that applied to the individual Christian. Quench is that which has reference to the saints when gathered together waiting on the Spirit.

One look outward to Jesus and you are saved; not a look inward to a feeling that can give nothing but despair to the conscientious soul.
Take the lost sinner's place, and claim the lost sinner's Saviour.
Jesus did ALL the saving-work. He brought the cross to our level. Get saved by looking to Him, and then live to God.
We will neither have the Romanism on the one side, which tells us of a cross without a Christ, nor the rationalism on the other side, which tells us of a Christ without a cross.
Stand up from among the dead, and patiently work as one waiting for the judgment-seat of Christ.
Virtuous or vile, decent or indecent, rich or poor, receive and rest upon Christ nim. as He is so freely offered you; and then you may believe (not feel) that your sins are in the depths of the sea.
