Just A Thought...

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, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. Ephesians 1:13-14

Sealed - close securely; Holy Spirit - third person of the Trinity, God as spiritually active in the world; Guarantee - promise that something will be fulfilled; Inheritance - free acquisition of something owned by another

Above I've highlighted and underlined the words that stood out to me. If we would take a moment to meditate on those words, I believe we will be encouraged to stand against anything that come our way during these trying times. Meditating on these words gives us power to be bold in every area of life. Believing this scripture gives meaning to an abundant life in Christ and the ability to possess something we had nothing to do with creating or managing.

Because we believe in what was preached to us, the truth about Christ, His assignment and the ushering in of the Holy Spirit who seals the deal and promotes promise of our greatest inheritance...eternal life, not eternal damnation, we have access to the heavenlies. I don't know about you but this gives me strength to go on in Jesus name, till the end.

Just a thought...hold fast to your faith in Christ. Hold fast to the power within you, the Holy Spirit, along with the guarantee we have regarding our inheritance. And finally, know we have some place to go when we leave here...let's make sure we're going up and not down.
