"Sealed - In Him"


October 20, 2014
“Sealed - In Him!”
Blessings folk!
To this point we have seen that “in Him” we are... - Blessed with every spiritual blessing in the the heavenly places - Chosen before the foundation of the world - Predestined for adoption as sons - Redeemed through His blood - Forgiven of trespasses - Lavished with grace - United with Him - Obtainers of an inheritance
Now...another “in Him”...
Ephesians 1:13-14
13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Note the sequence... - When you heard the Word of truth...the gospel of your salvation - When you believed
Have you heard the true gospel? Have you believed the true gospel?
Why do I ask?
So many have heard religious platitudes and doctrines of men, yet have not heard the true gospel. So many have heard the true gospel, yet have not believed.
How can one tell?
If you have heard... If you have believed... Then, you are are sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit seals us...until that day.

The Holy Spirit is the guarantee of our inheritance...until we acquire possession of the inheritance.
All to the praise of HIs glory.
Selah! Think on this. Reflect on this. Meditate upon the truths. Sealed. Protected. To the praise of the glory of His grace. In Him...
