SEALED

I’m so far in Christ, Google can’t find me!

Ephesians 1:13-14, In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

The moment one repents of their sin, trusting Jesus as Saviour, the Holy Spirit of God comes to dwell within them. This is the sealing of God’s promise to us that not only are we are saved but we have been permanently secured in Him. We can’t lose it, give it up, renounce it, or hinder that sealing. God is omnipotent, He holds us sealed in Him until we are delivered to Him! That’s not a license to sin—but a challenge to live in Christ so that others might be won for Him!

            I am thankful this morning that the Holy Ghost lives in me but more so that I live in Christ! Are you sealed with that promise today?

Preaching fully charged or preaching on empty!

There isn't anything quite so chilling, quite so disheartening as a man without the Holy Spirit preaching about the Holy Spirit. –Tozer

 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1 Corinthians 6:19
 

The moment a sinner receives the Lord Jesus as Saviour they are filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is given to be our comforter, helper, and guide until Jesus comes again. So how can one that doesn’t have the Spirit living and abiding in them stand to proclaim something they know not of? They can’t and neither can you! You can’t be a witness of something you have never tasted, never seen, or never felt!  

Are you saved or are you just trying to tell others about something you have never experienced?
