Bible Question: 2Timothy 2:19(sample verse) my question is what as Christians our seal? |
Bible Answer: Dear Adderall, Welcome to the forum! We are Sealed by the Holy Spirit: In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, (Ephesians 1:13 ESV) See also John 6:27; 2 Corinthians 2:22; Ephesians 1:13b; 4:30. Anyone sealed with the Holy Spirit will manifest this in their lives as a consistent, gradual growth in holiness and increasing in the fruit of the Spirit, a growing love for God, His Word, and his elect. Among other things, this seal gives us assurance, as the Holy Spirit is a kind of down-payment on the many blessings ahead. In Him, Doc |
