have you ever received an inheritance or wished that you received an inheritance? (Tell about Grubbs’ youth pastors’ friend who gained an inheritance that makes him millions of dollars a year.)
Holy Spirit is a seal
Hearing the word is VITAL, because hearing brings knowledge of the truth. But hearing is useless if it stops there. However, if it leads to faith, it brings about God’s blessings that can be received. So you must hear, believe, and then be sealed.
The Holy Spirit is a mark of what is to come.
The Holy Spirit is like an engagement ring. A sign of what is to come. It is the Spirits presence that makes the difference. The Holy Spirit is given when one turns to the Lord in repentance and faith.
Holy Spirit working is evidence
When the Holy Spirit convicts, leads, and changes your life you know that you have been saved going towards heaven.
Holy Spirit brings assurance
The Holy Spirit gives us complete confidence that God has given us salvation and we have been adopted into the family of God.
2 Corinthians 1:21–22 ESV
And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
