If you are in Christ, then you are sealed. If you are in Christ, then you are filled. If you are in Christ, then you are secure. Your security in Christ is not dependent on you. Your security is dependent on God who has sealed your security by filling you with His Holy Spirit.
“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession–to the praise of his glory.” Eph 1:13-14 (NIV)
Celebrate your security in Christ. Express your gratitude to God for your secure position in Christ. He gave you what you did not deserve. He placed you in the firm reality of being a child of the King. You are royalty. You are God’s possession. God made it possible for you to be sealed and secure.
How will your position in Christ affect your relationships? How will your security in Christ impact your decisions and level of courage? What fears have been alleviated by God’s seal of security in your life?
Pursuing God,
Stephen Trammell
