Full life - Sealed with the Spirit

SUMMARY: God has sealed us with his Spirit, guaranteeing our inheritance in Christ. We often focus on what we lack instead of realizing we are already complete in Christ. The spiritual seal speaks of our belonging to Christ and our inheritance. It is also a symbol of legitimacy and authority. As children of God, we must show the seal of God in our daily lives and be transparent in our spirituality to impact others. We are sealed by God with his Spirit, a reason for joy and commitment, and a principle of gratitude for who we are in Christ.

God stamped his stamp of grace in the lives of his children, he sealed us forever. The influence of his divine nature permeated our human condition and when we were dead in life, he poured out his Spirit complete with a transfusion of blessings to renew us with a new life, guarantee of our inheritance in Christ . "And the one who prepared us for this very thing is God, who gave us the Spirit as a guarantee" (2 Cor 5.5).

There are not many occasions when we meditate on what we have, but on what we supposedly lack. We beg for blessings and do not realize that we are already complete. Fears beset us, misfocused expectations of the world creep through the gaps we leave open. Stress shakes us. Inner peace seems like an elusive goal. The spouse who adulterated his partner, the son who leaves home to enjoy other freedoms without religious commitments, the father who has already lost hope that God will smile on him for once; low wages and life overwhelmed by day-to-day struggles, little self-esteem. Spiritual dryness due to little faith. Rivers of living water that the heart has stopped pumping. "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: 'From the depths of his being will flow rivers of living water.'" (John 7:38)
