Jesus has paid the full price to purchase your life...Ephesians 1:13-14
God's Spirit is his active presence working in you, through you, and around you in this world. He is also an irrevocable seal and guarantee of your spiritual heritage and eternal destiny. The seal of God's Spirit in your life is like a brand, identifying you as a genuine child of God. In the same way that an official seal can signify that an important transition is complete, God's Spirit is proof that Jesus has paid the full price to purchase your life.
God's Spirit is more than a just a sign to you and the world that God will keep his promises to you. God's Spirit is your personal guarantee of wonderful things ahead.
The Greek word that is translated "guarantee" is still used today in Greece to refer to engagement ring. When you get engaged, you make a mutual promise to commit to spend the future together with someone you love. Through an engaged couple are already in love, the intimacy of their current relationship cannot come close to what it will be after they are united in marriage.
The same is true with your relationship with God. You may love him now and draw close to him in prayer through the presence of his Spirit. However, your future union in heaven will be much more intimate than anything you can experience here on earth. Right now, think of God's Spirit as your engagement ring, a powerful reminder of God's commitment to share forever with you.
Selah people' and friends consider what kind of inheritance awaits you in heaven: life and love that never end, a new body, a new heaven and earth. Thank God for what the presence of his Spirit means in your life.
"Just as Christ has delivered us from sin and death by his love for us may we too share this same love with all whom we come in contact with each day."
Your pastor,
Rev Muston (PreacherPatrick)
