Truth to Remember

Your salvation is settled because you’re sealed by the Spirit!

The sealing of the Holy Spirit empowers you to live with confidence.

Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

(2 Corinthians 5:5-10)

Truth to Remember

Your salvation is settled because you’re sealed by the Spirit!
