2 Corinthians 1: 20-22) - THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT IS INSIDE US, IS THE GUARANTEE OF OUR SALVATION.


For all the promises of God are in him, and in him Amen, to the glory of God for us.
But what confirms us with you in Christ, and what anointed us, is God,
Who also sealed us and gave the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts. (2 Corinthians 1: 20-22).


Dear brothers in Christ, it is with great joy that we are studying the word of God, together with you, in the presence of the Creator of Heaven and Earth, in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

In the study we are conducting today, Holy Spirit wants to make it very clear that we can rely on the SALVATION PLAN that our GOD devised for us. Many even doubt whether they can trust in God's promises or not.
Others trust, distrusting. Some surrender totally, others surrender only partially, trying to reserve a possible mistake.

The Apostle Paul, in his second letter to the Corinthians, speaks in chapter 1, verse 20 to 22. About the promises God makes. In verse 20, he says that all God's promises come from him. And it is for him, to his own glory.

But He has given us a guarantee in verse 21. He says that He confirms that Christ is our Savior, and that God Himself anointed us.

In verse 22, He says that God sealed us, He put a mark on us, as we are participants in SALVATION. We have the right to be part of the Kingdom of God through this seal, beyond this seal. In verse 22, He says that God has given us the company of the Holy Spirit, and He declares that He has left the Holy Spirit within us as a guarantee. That we are on the right track, and that we will come to SALVATION.

So, in short, who made the promises was God. And made the promises to his own glory, because he will fulfill. And it is God who confirms that we are saved by the Lord Jesus Christ. And He also guarantees that He anointed us (set us apart for Him) and placed Holy Spirit in our hearts, and left Him as a guarantee, who will seek us.

So we are certain and convinced that He will return and take us with Him, because the HOLY SPIRIT is within us as a guarantee.

We are calling you to accept the Lord Jesus, be saved by Christ, be anointed by God, and have the Holy Spirit within you as a pledge, a guarantee.

AMEN GLORY TO GOD.
