Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
[1] The seal of God is His stamp of approval which designates the receiver as being His, and this stamp, or seal is actually The Holy Ghost Himself, who enables the receiver to obey God. [2] Any, and everyone who would pass through the pearly gates must first be sealed.
This includes the living, who would be translated without seeing death, the dead in Christ, and every person those who has died in Jesus during the dark ages, without a complete knowledge of God’s will, as it pertains to Sabbath observance. All, without exception must be sealed.
[3] The word “Earnest” is likened to a security deposit. A person can receive “The earnest of The Spirit” and still be lost, because the initial down-payment does not coerce individuals to remain in their covenant relationship with God. Day by day the covenant is to be renewed.
2nd Corinthians 1:21 Now, He which establishes us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
