Look at 1 Peter 5:8,
The verse is telling us that the devil is trying to act like a roaring lion (Jesus) and condemn those who think God is angry with them!
Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
In Isaiah 53, it describes how Jesus bore our trangressions & iniquity on the cross.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
In Isaiah 54, after Jesus finished His work on the cross, he sworn that He would never be angry with us!
9 “To me this is like the days of Noah,
when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.
So now I have sworn not to be angry with you,
never to rebuke you again.
10 Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.

never to rebuke you again.

In Eph 4:30, grieving the Spirit means denying what God's true feeling for you. Always thinking God is angry with you. No, God loves you with all His everything!
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
