Happy New Year! Are You Sealed with the Promise?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who heard the word of truth, believed in Jesus, and were sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Think how amazing the senses are. Take a moment. Stop and reflect upon your sense of taste, smell, touch, hearing, and sight. Think about the first time you heard about Jesus. How many of your senses were involved?
Ephesians 1:13-14 (ESV) describes what happens when believers heard the Good News.
“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, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.”
Have you believed in Jesus? If you have not, consider accepting Jesus as your personal savior now. Pray and ask Jesus to come into your heart. If you do, you can start the New Year born again.
The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, first came upon believers on the day of Pentecost. As the scripture says, the Holy Spirit guarantees believer’s inheritance. As believers,, yours is guaranteed. Rejoice!
