Sealed by the Spirit
In Ephesians 1, the apostle Paul emphasizes the Holy Spirit’s role in God’s plan of redemption: sealing believers. The gospel message is clear then: we are sinners deserving God's wrath, but through Christ's perfect life, sacrificial death, and resurrection, forgiveness is offered to all who repent and believe—and upon believing, they are immediately sealed by the Holy Spirit. Join Tom Pennington in Ephesians 1 as he helps Christians understand that they are Sealed by the Spirit.
Part 1
The third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, is the most misunderstood and neglected person of the Trinity—and there are several reasons that have contributed to a lack of care for the Spirit. But there is one particular aspect of His ministry that is often overlooked or even sometimes forgotten and that is His “sealing.”
Part 2
The Bible teaches that God is one being in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But unfortunately, the Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood member of the Trinity. In this series, Pastor Tom seeks to shed light on the powerful working of the Spirit in the life of the believer, that the Spirit serves not only as our seal but also as God's down payment on our future inheritance.
