NASB | Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. [John 7:39; Acts 2:33] |
Subject: Can you lose your salvation? |
Bible Note: Lookin, The verse I quoted,"sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promice," is a one time action in the Greek, it is past tense, "aorist indicative passive," which is a confirmation of Ephesians 1:4 "just as He choose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him in love." Since we were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world, we were also "sealed in Christ" with the Holy Spirit of promice. A one time action, in the past, before the foundation of the world. What "God Himself seals" can not be undone. Any study done on "what God seals" would confirm that nothing but nothing can "undo it." Therefore, this is one of the strongest verses in the Bible on eternal security for those who have been saved by and through God. If anyone can Biblically refute what this verse says, I sure don't know how. Respectfully in Him Psalm 25 |
