And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [do not offend or vex or sadden Him], by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God’s own, secured) for the day of redemption (of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin). Ephesians 4:30
How long does the Bible teach us that our Father has sealed us for? According to God, He has sealed us with His Holy Spirit until the day of redemption! The Holy Ghost doesn’t seal us for just a moment, or just as long as we act right, no way! Our Father seals us until the day of redemption. We are sealed until the day that Jesus physically returns to the earth!
Our peace is that we are now new creatures in Christ, who have been sealed with the very Spirit of God, 2 Corinthians 5;17! We have been made one with the very Anointing of God and we are now the Temples of God, 1 Corinthians 6:19. How awesome are these Truths? The Truth set us free and faith comes by us hearing these Truths, John 8:32! These Truths will set us free from fear, from sickness, from doubt, and from sin!
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:11
The Mind of Christ that we have been given allows us to know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that we are now alive unto God, just as Jesus is alive unto God! We have been baptized with Christ and we have put on Christ! We are one with Him right now. We are not one with Who He was, we are one with Who He is!
And now O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine Own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was. John 17:5
Jesus has been raised from the dead, death has no more dominion over Him, and He now has the complete and full glory of God. This is Who we are now one with! So Just as Jesus is sealed from attack, so are we! Just as Jesus is sealed from sickness, so are we! Just as Jesus is sealed from all of the ills of the world, so are we! We have been sealed with the exact same Spirit of God that Jesus our Lord and Savior has been sealed with!
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
Through Christ our Father has given us all things that pertain unto life and unto godliness!
