We are looking at WHO the Holy Spirit IS and WHAT the Holy Spirit DOES! The Holy Spirit Exalts Jesus, Convicts us and Regenerates us.Resides in us and today we learn that the Holy Spirit SEALS BELIEVERS.
“When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession.”-Ephesians 1:13-14.
The Holy Spirit is God’s seal on His people, His claim on us as His very own. The Greek word is translated “earnest” like putting earnest money down as a pledge to buy a house.
The gift of the Spirit to believers is a down payment on our heavenly inheritance, which Christ has promised us and secured for us at the cross. It is because the Spirit has sealed us that we are assured of our salvation. No one can break the seal of God.
The Holy Spirit is given to believers as a “first installment” to assure us that our full inheritance as children of God will be delivered. The Holy Spirit is given to us to confirm to us that we belong to God and will forever.
