Ephesians 1: 13-14
January 18th 2026, Third LORD’s Day of the Month
Rev. Tadashi Nagae, Pastor
Today's passage teaches us about the blessed position of Christians in the Holy Spirit.
The first is that we are God's possession. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. This signifies that we are possession of God, and no one can take us away from Him.
The second is that we are guaranteed to inherit the kingdom. The Holy Spirit is The guarantee that we will inherit the kingdom. This guarantee is like a down-payment in advance, ensuring we will surely enter the kingdom.
The third is that we are made alive to the praise God's glory. His love, greatness, and holiness are incomparable to anything else. We praise the glory of this Lord. Moreover, people will come to praise the Lord's glory through our lives.
Let us remember again how blessed our position is and walk in a way that glorifies God!
<The Word of the Bible>
who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:14 (English Standard Version)
