Sealed with the Holy Spirit – Forever with God

Daily Encouragement

You are sealed with the Holy Spirit forever

“In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.”

-Ephesians 1:13

As believers, we have received the gift of salvation by grace through faith in the gospel, which is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). This is the word of truth that we have heard and trusted, and by faith, we have been sealed with the Holy Spirit.

Being sealed with the Holy Spirit means that we have been marked and identified as God’s own possession (Ephesians 1:14). We have been set apart as holy and blameless before God, and we have the assurance of our salvation because the God the Holy Spirit indwells us, and is the guarantee of our redemption.

No matter what struggles or challenges we may face in this life, we can take comfort in the fact that we belong to God, and He is with us always. The Holy Spirit indwells us as a constant reminder of God’s love and faithfulness, and it is through His power that we can live a life that is pleasing to Him.

So, let us rejoice in the free gift of salvation, and let us give thanks for the Holy Spirit, who lives in us, seals us and guides us in our daily walk. Rejoice in this great salvation, secured for eternity, sealed with the Holy Spirit; He who has begun a good work in you will complete it.

You have been sealed with the Holy Spirit and nothing can separate you from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39). Rest in the assurance that your salvation is secure and continue to grow in your faith, knowing that you have been made a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). May we always trust in the word of truth and the promise of eternal life that we have received through faith alone in the gospel. Lastly, look at what the Lord Jesus said about believers;

‘All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.’

John 6:37

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

Who's writing?

Identify the author of the book and passage.

Who is the author writing too?

Who is the audience? Yes, all Scripture is for us but not all of Scripture is directed to us our salvation and doctrine (how to live our daily lives). To say all of Scripture is, is erroneous interpretation.

When was the Book or Passage written?

This is necessary to identify the time and historical context.

What were the circumstances when it was written? (what was going on)

What was going on before and after it was written?

What happen before and after the particular Book or Passage you’re reading?

What is the HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE VERSE?

Where does the Bible verse fit in Biblical history. Use the answers from the list of these questions to identify the “historical context”.

Are there other passages that the Author has written to help expand on the verse your reading?

Utilize the full counsel of God to illuminate the passage

All of Scripture fits perfectly.

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-4; 2cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
