Sealed with the Holy Spirit: Ephesians 1:13-14
In this episode of Timeless Truth, Pastor Jim Thomas turns to the role of the Holy Spirit in our salvation. After exploring the Father’s plan and the Son’s redemptive work, we now celebrate how the Spirit applies that salvation—sealing, indwelling, empowering, and transforming us.
In This Episode:
Understand what it means to be sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. Discover the Spirit’s role as the pledge of our inheritance and future hope. Reflect on the personal and present ministry of the Spirit in daily life. Explore how the Spirit comforts, convicts, empowers, connects, and conforms us to Christ.
Theological Emphases:
-
Ephesians is Trinitarian in Structure:
- God the Father – Administrates salvation (vv. 3–6)
- God the Son – Accomplishes salvation through His atoning death (vv. 7–12)
- God the Spirit – Applies salvation through regeneration, sanctification, and sealing (vv. 13–14)
“God is both the goal of our journey and the means by which we find him. We come to the Father through the Son in the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Alister McGrath
