以弗所书 1:13-14 - The Pulpit Commentary

Ephesians 1:13-14 - Homiletics

The seal of the Spirit and the earnest of the inheritance.

I. THE SPIRIT IS HIMSELF THE SEAL BY WHICH BELIEVERS ARE KNOWN AS GOD 'S.

1. In his inward operations on their hearts .

2. In the outward effects of his working .

II. THE SPIRIT IS ALSO THE EARNEST OF THE INHERITANCE . Heaven a condition more than a locality. Heaven is brought to men before they are brought to heaven. Renewal of soul is the beginning of heaven. It is thus the firstfruits of their inheritance. It is the pledge and assurance of "more to follow." Apart from this there is no heaven. "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
