And
you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the
gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a
seal, the promised Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:13
The
gospel has to be heard. Our eyes and
ears are opened to the truth and we believe! Jesus is ours, now and forever.
The promised Savior of the world has saved you and me for all eternity. Nothing
can separate us, ever. We are signed, sealed and delivered, heaven-bound.
At the
very moment we accept and believe in Jesus as our Lord, the very Spirit of God,
the promised Holy Spirit seals us. Seals were an important part of ancient
days. Each prominent person had his own seal and any document would not be
accepted as authentic without it.
Picture
yourself with the seal of Christ, permanently stamped in heavenly writing, “WE
ARE HIS!” These words, written by Peter,
through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, are for you and me from our God.
But
you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special
possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His wonderful light.
Such powerful
words to consider; His chosen ones, His special possession. And as His holy
people we are called to declare His praises, reminding ourselves that we are
now children of the light.
Dear Jesus,
We are sealed with the promise of heaven, Your
special possessions, now and forever. We will thank and praise You for that
until we see You face to face.
Amen
