The Holy Spirit, Seal of the Promise


Listen Later

Transforming Perspective: Conversation about our need to receive the empowerment of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

 The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost, the third Person of the Deity of God, is the power of God, performing the will of God on the earth. 

 Jesus Christ introduces the role of the Holy Spirit as the Helper who operates or abides in believers, enabling us to become bold witnesses for Him. 

 Apostle Paul explains further of the Holy Spirit being the seal of the promised inheritance of salvation which was revealed to the Jews first then to all nations.  

 He expresses, for all believing in Jesus Christ when hearing the word of the gospel of salvation, and trusting God is an act of saving faith for which to receive the seal of the Holy Spirit.

 Symbolically, the seal is the guarantee of being a purchased possession of God and being kept by the power of God, unto the day of redemption.

 As our helper, the Holy Spirit keeps us in God’s grace, awakening our understanding,  convicts or makes us aware of our sins and need of repentance, as well as empowering us with spiritual gifts to complete the Lord’s work our lives.

Biblical Principle: Receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, the seal of God’s promised redemption.
