God's guarantee!

God's guarantee!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ephesians 1:14
The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.

The day you received Jesus into your heart, you were sealed, stamped and marked with the Holy Spirit, your spirit became one with the Holy Spirit. This verse tells us, the Holy Spirit in you is God's guarantee that you will receive everything else that God has promised. Hallelujah!

The Holy Spirit is the downpayment and the pledge of our inheritance. He is the deposit guaranteeing our inheritance. He is the assurance of our salvation and redemption. Romans 8.16 says, The Holy Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. He is the assurance and the proof that we are children of the Most High God. Romans 8:9 says, ...Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. Without the Holy Spirit, there is no assurance, no witness and no guarantee that you are saved or that you will get everything that God has in store for you. Since we have the Holy Spirit of God, we enjoy life knowing that we are children of the Most High God and that we will see the manifestation of everything that God has promised us. Glory to God! When the rapture happens, the Holy Spirit is the guarantee that you will be raptured. The Holy Spirit in you is the guarantee that you will have a glorified body and that you will be with Jesus for eternity. The world doesn't have this assurance, they are confused and troubled. But bless God, we have the guarantee in us, God's guarantee, the Mighty Holy Spirit. The world is walking in the dark, hoping and wishing that something will happen, this or that will happen or anything might happen. But we don't hope and wish, we know because we have God's guarantee, the Mighty Holy Spirit.

Friend, know who you have received and what you have received in Christ. These are precious eternal truths and once established in your consciousness will elevate your thinking, speaking and living to a higher and greater level. The Holy Spirit lives in you and He is the guarantee that you are saved, sanctified, righteous, heavenly and that you have eternal life. Face life triumphantly! Christ in you, the hope of glory! Christ, your righteousness, your wisdom, your sanctification and your redemption. What a life in Christ!
