What does the Bible say about the Holy Spirit striving with man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that the Holy Spirit will not always strive with man, as noted in Genesis 6:3, highlighting the seriousness of rejecting His influence.

Genesis 6:3 reveals that God declared, 'My Spirit shall not always strive with man,' emphasizing that there is a limit to the Holy Spirit's work in the hearts of individuals. This striving indicates the Holy Spirit's active engagement in bringing conviction and guiding towards repentance. However, there comes a point when this influence may cease, leaving individuals hardened in their sin. The Scriptures and experiences show that while the Spirit works to awaken those in sin, His striving is a temporary grace that, if rejected, can lead to eternal consequences.
