Sealed By The Father With The Holy Spirit

[Mr. M]

Revelation 22:4 They shall see His face and
His name on their foreheads.

John 6:27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.

2 Corinthians 1:
21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ
and has anointed us is God,
22 who also has sealed us and given us
the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

Ephesians 1:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory,
who first trusted Christ.
13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard
the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation:
in whom also after that you believed, you were
sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the downpayment of our inheritance
until the redemption of the purchased possession,
unto the praise of his glory.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

Revelation 22:4 They shall see His face and
His name on their foreheads.

John 6:27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.

2 Corinthians 1:
21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ
and has anointed us is God,
22 who also has sealed us and given us
the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

Ephesians 1:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory,
who first trusted Christ.
13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard
the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation:
in whom also after that you believed, you were
sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the downpayment of our inheritance
until the redemption of the purchased possession,
unto the praise of his glory.

Food which endures to eternal life is the life of Christ as our manna, edification in His Name. He is our downpayment in the Spirit. Anchored in hope He is also faith that a servant is never above. Yet as the promised child that we have become with Him when we pass from law to grace, we are also seated above principalities and rulers, as the church, to reveal the manifold wisdom of God to them.

“To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Eph. 3:10-11).
