“who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.”
2 Corinthians 1:22 KJV
Paul writes that God knows we are His since He has also stamped His seal of love over our hearts and has given us the Holy Spirit like an engagement ring is given to a bride—a down payment of the blessings to come! God has sealed the redeemed with a sevenfold seal - the seal of security, secured tightly in God’s love; the seal of authentication that marks us His own; the seal to certify genuineness; the seal of ownership; the seal of approval; the seal of righteousness; and finally, the seal denoting a promise to be fulfilled. This seal of Christ our Bridegroom, is on our hearts. We are born of the Spirit, sealed with the Spirit, indwelt by the Spirit, baptised in the Spirit, filled with the Spirit, joined one with the Spirit, given gifts of the Spirit and given ministries by the Spirit. He is the Promise of our full inheritance! Thank You Holy Spirit!
