SEAL … HOLY SPIRIT / EPHESIANS 1:13

The Holy Spirit is given to believers as God’s mark of ownership. By giving us the Spirit, God marks us as His own (2 Corinthians 1:22). The Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives is the evidence that we are God’s adopted children (Ephesians 1:5) and that our relationship with God is real. We can know that we really belong to God when the Spirit renews us spiritually and restores us to a personal relationship with God (John 1:12; John 1:13; John 3:3-6). In doing so, the Holy Spirit frees us from the power of sin (Romans 8:1-17; Galatians 5:16-25), gives us an awareness of God as our Father (Ephesians 1:5; Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6) and fills us with power to communicate His message (Acts 1:8; 2:4).

HOLY SPIRIT

Joins believers together to build them into a “holy temple” (Ephesians 2:21-22).
Reveals the mystery of Christ (Ephesians 3:4-5).
Strengthens a Christian with power in the inner being (Ephesians 3:16).
Motivates unity and peace among Christians as He fully develops in them a Christlike maturity (Ephesians 4:3, 13-14).
