EPHESIANS 1:13-14 Assurance from the Spirit

Included in Him When you heard When you believed When you heard Jesus died to pay for sin and you believed your sins could be paid for by Him When you heard that Jesus rose and you believed you too could rise from the dead

Marked with a Seal A seal on a letter – only for the recipient A seal on the law – cannot be repealed Assurance

Assurance of the Spirit  Not assurance through the gifts... Each one is given different gifts.  Not assurance through the fruit... Evidence of the sinful nature does not deny the presence of the Spirit.  So what assurance? Who the Spirit is not what He does...

The Spirit in You  Counsellor: John 14:16 – Knowledge of what is good and glorious.  Truth: John 14:17 – Understanding more of God’s plan.  Remind you of Jesus: John 14:26 – Thoughts drawn to Jesus.  Move you: John 3:8 – Like the wind directs and moves you.  Eat with You: Revelation 3:20 – Spend time and build closeness with you.

Deposit Guaranteeing Inheritance  Deposit on a house – you move in and live in the good of it.  Established as the owner.  Guarantee – Not like our insurance, where they will find any loophole to squirm out.  Not guaranteed for 5 years, but “until redemption”  Not a guarantee for failure, but a deposit preparing for fulfilment.
