Readings:
Job 32
II Corinthians 1:8-24
Focus:
II Corinthians 1:22: "It is God also who has set his seal upon us and, as a pledge of what is to come, has given the Spirit to dwell in our hearts."
After Jesus ascended to heaven, after his resurrection, God sent the Holy Spirit to dwell within Christians, to be our companion and guide in place of Jesus. This is comforting and illuminating.
But not only that, God has set his seal upon Christians, upon those who have given their lives to him. He has marked us as his, and that makes us secure. In fact, it makes us eternally secure. There is no spiritual danger that can defeat us. With God's seal on us, we belong to him, and we have God's whole power protecting us. We are as safe as safe can be.
