Daily devotion – 15th April 2021
“Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit.” – Ephesians 1:13
God places His seal of ownership on us when we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. And that seal is a person – the Holy Spirit. By the Spirit’s presence God gives us security and establishes His ownership over us.
The Spirit is also God’s pledge. He not only seals the arrangement, but He represents God’s commitment to see us through to glory. And Fellowship with the Spirit is a sample of what we can expect when we come into our inheritance in Heaven.
Lastly, the Spirit witnesses to our spirit, by the Scriptures and within our hearts, that Christ died for us, and by faith in Him we have become God’s children.
It is an amazing blessing to know the Holy Spirit has been given to us as a seal – a pledge – and a witness!
Knowing all this, may you today have a new assurance of God’s unchanging love for you, and give you confidence as you seek to live for Him in all that you do.
